      abstract = {This volume includes an overview of the state and its  economic, educational, environmental, racial, and religious  histories. At its essence, Kentucky's story is about its  people - not just the notable and prominent figures but  also lesser-known and sometimes overlooked personalities.  The human spirit unfolds through the lives of individuals  such as Shawnee peace chief Nonhelema Hokolesqua and  suffrage leader Madge Breckinridge, early land promoter  John Filson, author Wendell Berry, and Iwo Jima flag-raiser  Private Franklin Sousley. They lived on a landscape defined  by its topography as much as its political boundaries, from  Appalachia in the east to the Jackson Purchase in the west,  and from the Walker Line that forms the Commonwealth's  southern boundary to the Ohio River that shapes its  northern boundary. Along the journey are traces of  Kentucky's past - its literary and musical traditions, its  state-level and national political leadership, and its  basketball and bourbon. Yet this volume also faces  forthrightly the Commonwealth's blemishes - the  displacement of Native Americans, African American  enslavement, the legacy of violence, and failures to  address poverty and poor health.--description provided by  publisher.},
