The Early History of Montgomery County, Kentucky - Edward P. McCullough. The Early History of Montgomery County, Kentucky preserves a wealth of fascinating history and little-known historical anecdotes in this collection of detailed essays that examine the mounds of Montgomery County, Indian Old Fields, the Indian battle known as Estill’s Defeat, Morgan’s Station and the Indian raid that destroyed it, Montgomery County and the War of the Rebellion, and the history of the Court Day festival. A broad review of the people, sites and events in the Montgomery County area, including the earliest known Indian inhabitants before the contact period with the Europeans; the first explorers and settlements in the area; famous pioneer battles with Indians; and Civil War events in the county are among the topics discussed. The author, like many others raised in Montgomery County, had only a fleeting knowledge of the extensive history of the county. Later, his interest in local history led to research in the Draper Manuscripts, history books, and interviews with local historians that revealed many obscure details of Montgomery County history that are presented here. An abundance of maps and photographs enhance the text. An index to names, places and subjects adds value to this work. 2006, 5½x8½, paper, index, 186 pp. $25.00 M4289 ISBN: 0788442899
