Book Description
This present volume gives a historical detail of the rise, progress, and present position of the city of Louisville, instead of following the course which has been pursued by most writers of local history. It is no part of the design of this volume to eulogize Louisville beyond its deserts. In this book, Casseday cites sources who lived in early Louisville, such as Henry Bradshaw Fearon, an Englishman in his twenties who stayed here in the fall of 1817. Fearon's description of mealtimes at early taverns (such as the Indian Queen) helps the reader understand how the rough-and-tumble early Louisvillians appeared to be a stiff and proper Englishman. The book also tells the story of Mike Fink, the riverboat captain, and his run-in with the law in Louisville. A lover of Louisville's history will enjoy this book.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of Louisville: From Its Earliest Settlement Till the Year 1852 These remarks are hardly less merited now than at the time when they were published. The last two years, it is true, have awakened new energies and brought about a great er disposition to prompt and efficient action in promoting a useful business organization and in setting forth the claims of Louisville in a properly attractive light. Much time, how ever, has been wasted and much valuable material has been lost by the long delay in this matter. To endeavor to restore this lost time and to replace a part at least of this valuable material, is one of the prominent objects had in view in the preparation of this history.

The Synagogues of Kentucky
Author: Lee Shai WeissbachPublisher: University Press of Kentucky
ISBN: 081318732X
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
Lee Shai Weissbach's innovative study sheds light on the functioning of smaller Jewish communities in a state representative of many in the Midwest and South. The synagogue buildings of Kentucky tell much about the experience of Kentucky Jewry. Synagogues, especially in smaller towns, have often served as the only setting available for a wide variety of communal activities. Weissbach outlines the history of every congregation established in Kentucky and every house of worship that has served Kentucky Jewry over the last 150 years, considering such issues as the financing of construction, the selection of architects, the way synagogue buildings reveal congregational attitudes, and the way local synagogue design reflects national trends. Eighty-two photographs show every one of Kentucky's synagogues, including buildings that are no longer standing or have been converted to other uses. This pictorial record documents the variety, distinctiveness, and significance of these buildings as a part of the Commonwealth's architectural, cultural, and religious landscape.
