Book Description
The Tuleyries is the story of a grand estate and the Federal mansion which is its centerpiece. Through the almost two centuries it has stood gazing out to the Blue Ridge, The Tuleyries has been a landmark in Clarke County, Virginia, a considerable achievement given the number of competitors in the area. Architecturally unique in many ways, it bears careful study and that study will bring great pleasure. Two families have cherished and maintained The Tuleyries since its construction in the early 1830s by Joseph Tuley Jr. From him, it passed to his niece and remained in her family until 1903 when it was purchased by Graham Blandy, a wealthy New York broker who had a love for the house and the farm. Following his death, it passed to his wife, then her sister, then her sister's son, and most recently to his son and daughter. Their stories are equally intriguing.

Book Description
The Kentucky Encyclopedia's 2,000-plus entries are the work of more than five hundred writers. Their subjects reflect all areas of the commonwealth and span the time from prehistoric settlement to today's headlines, recording Kentuckians' achievements in art, architecture, business, education, politics, religion, science, and sports. Biographical sketches portray all of Kentucky's governors and U.S. senators, as well as note congressmen and state and local politicians. Kentucky's impact on the national scene is registered in the lives of such figures as Carry Nation, Henry Clay, Louis Brandeis, and Alben Barkley. The commonwealth's high range from writers Harriette Arnow and Jesse Stuart, reformers Laura Clay and Mary Breckinridge, and civil rights leaders Whitney Young, Jr., and Georgia Powers, to sports figures Muhammad Ali and Adolph Rupp and entertainers Loretta Lynn, Merle Travis, and the Everly Brothers. Entries describe each county and county seat and each community with a population above 2,500. Broad overview articles examine such topics as agriculture, segregation, transportation, literature, and folklife. Frequently misunderstood aspects of Kentucky's history and culture are clarified and popular misconceptions corrected. The facts on such subjects as mint juleps, Fort Knox, Boone's coonskin cap, the Kentucky hot brown, and Morgan's Raiders will settle many an argument. For both the researcher and the more casual reader, this collection of facts and fancies about Kentucky and Kentuckians will be an invaluable resource.
