Freedom on the Border: An Oral History of the Civil Rights Movement in Kentucky

Freedom on the Border: An Oral History of the Civil Rights Movement in Kentucky is a book written by Catherine Fosl and Tracy E. K'Meyer. It was first published in 2009.

## Description

Memories fade, witnesses pass away, and the stories of how social change took place are often lost. Many of those stories, however, have been preserved thanks to the dozens of civil rights activists across Kentucky who shared their memories in the wide-ranging oral history project from which this volume arose. Through their collective memories and the efforts of a new generation of historians, the stories behind the marches, vigils, court cases, and other struggles to overcome racial discrimination are finally being brought to light.

In Freedom on the Border: An Oral History of the Civil Rights Movement in Kentucky, Catherine Fosl and Tracy E. K'Meyer gather the voices of more than one hundred courageous crusaders for civil rights, many of whom have never before spoken publicly about their experiences. These activists hail from all over Kentucky, offering a wide representation of the state's geography and culture while explaining the civil rights movement in their respective communities and in their own words. Grounded in oral history, this book offers new insights into the diverse experiences and ground-level perspectives of the activists. This approach often highlights the contradictions between the experiences of individual activists and commonly held beliefs about the larger movement.

Interspersed among the chapters are in-depth profiles of activists such as Kentucky general assemblyman Jesse Crenshaw and Helen Fisher Frye, past president of the Danville NAACP. These activists describe the many challenges that Kentuckians faced during the civil rights movement, such as inequality in public accommodations, education, housing, and politics. By placing the narratives in the social context of state, regional, and national trends, Fosl and K'Meyer demonstrate how contemporary race relations in Kentucky are marked by many of the same barriers that African Americans faced before and during the civil rights movement.

From city streets to mountain communities, in areas with black populations large and small, Kentucky's civil rights movement was much more than a series of mass demonstrations, campaigns, and elite-level policy decisions. It was also the sum of countless individual struggles, including the mother who sent her child to an all-white school, the veteran who refused to give up when denied a job, and the volunteer election worker who decided to run for office herself. In vivid detail, Freedom on the Border brings this mosaic of experiences to life and presents a new, compelling picture of a vital and little-understood era in the history of Kentucky and the nation.
Holly (Deveraux)

Holly is a novel written by Jude Deveraux. It was first published in 2003.

## Description

Readers who like their Christmas on the hot side should go straight to Holly, a Christmas romance from Jude Deveraux, New York Times–bestselling author of Forever and Always.

The plot of this Yuletide confection revolves around a passionate fling that erupts by chance between wealthy young Hollander "Holly" Latham and mysterious Nick Taggert when they meet at the site of an old plantation. Holly, who inherited a passion for restoring old homes as a teenager -- the same year she fell in love with Lorrie Beaumont -- has persuaded her parents to buy the Spring Hill Plantation, a property that has seen better days. But Holly's interest in restoring the plantation is surpassed by her desire to rekindle a relationship with her new neighbor, Lorrie. Nick Taggert, a handsome doctor masquerading as a trucker, is hiding out from the aftermath of a bad breakup by riding a motorcycle and staying in a friend's garage in the area. The two first meet when Holly falls into an old cistern, and Nick comes to her rescue. But nothing is what it seems to be in this romance with a dash of mystery and threat. Are the money and status that Lorrie offers enough to make Holly turn her back on the powerful attraction she feels to Nick? The love triangle comes to a peak on a tumultuous Christmas Eve.
George B. Crittenden

George Bibb Crittenden (March 20, 1812 – November 27, 1880) was a career United States Army officer who served in the Black Hawk War, the Army of the Republic of Texas, and the Mexican-American War, and was a general in the Confederate States Army in the American Civil War.

George B. Crittenden was born in Russellville, Kentucky, his father being the U.S. politician John J. Crittenden. His brother, Thomas Leonidas Crittenden, and cousin, Thomas Turpin Crittenden, were both future generals for the Union Army.

George B. Crittenden graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1832 and was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 4th U.S. Infantry. He fought in the Black Hawk War of 1832 and resigned his commission the following year. He attended Transylvania University and became a lawyer. He moved to the Republic of Texas in 1842 and joined the Army of the Republic of Texas. During the Mier Expedition of 1843, he was captured by the Mexican army and exchanged. He rejoined the U.S. Army in 1846 and fought with the Regiment of Mounted Rifles in the Mexican-American War. He was given a brevet promotion to major for gallantry at Contreras and Churubusco in 1847 and a permanent promotion to major in the regular army in 1848. However, on August 19, 1848, he was kicked out from the Army, to be restored in March 1849. He eventually reached the permanent rank of lieutenant colonel in 1856.

Just before the start of the Civil War, Crittenden accepted a commission as colonel, in the Confederate States Army infantry on March 16, 1861, although he would not resign his U.S. Army commission until June 10. He was promoted to brigadier general on August 15, 1861, and served briefly as a brigade commander in the Confederate Army of the Potomac in Virginia. He was promoted to major general on November 9, 1861, and commanded the District of East Tennessee. On January 18, 1862, he and Confederate Brig. Gen. Felix Zollicoffer were defeated by Union Brigadier General George H. Thomas at the Battle of Mill Springs, the first important Confederate defeat in the war, breaking the Southern hold on eastern Kentucky.

He briefly commanded the 2nd Division of the Army of Central Kentucky in 1862, but was relieved on March 31. He was arrested the next day on charges of drunkenness by the order of Maj. Gen. William J. Hardee and restored on April 18. General Braxton Bragg ordered a court of inquiry in July and Crittenden resigned as a general officer, reverting to colonel in October 1862.

He served as the state librarian of Kentucky from 1867 to 1871. He died in Danville, Kentucky, and is buried in the State Cemetery, Frankfort, Kentucky.

Gideon Shryock

Gideon Shryock (November 15, 1802 – June 19, 1880) was Kentucky's first professional architect, known for his work in the Greek Revival style. His name has frequently been misspelled as Gideon Shyrock.

Shryock was a native of Lexington, Kentucky, the son of a housebuilder and contractor, Mathias Shryock, who had moved to Kentucky from Maryland and who would father 10 other children in Kentucky besides Gideon. One of Gideon's younger brothers, Cincinnatus Shryock, would also become an architect.

Shryock studied at Lancastrian Academy in Lexington, worked in the family business, and then was apprenticed to architect William Strickland of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for one year. While in Philadelphia, Shryock acquired a copy of the American edition of Swan's British Architect, which he brought back to Lexington.

Shryock is cited as the most influential architect in Kentucky from 1827 to 1837. Among his apprentices were John McMurtry (1812–1890).

Shryock is buried in the Shryock family plot at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville, Kentucky.

Henry Eckert Youtsey

Henry Eckert Youtsey (September 14, 1873 - May 2, 1942) was an alleged Political Conspirator. He was a key figure in the 1900 assassination of Kentucky Governor William Goebel, for which he served 18 years in prison.

Henry Eckert Youtsey was born in Cold Spring, Kentucky on September 14, 1873. He studied law in Cincinnati and around 1898 became a clerk in the State Auditor's Office in Frankfort. A staunch Republican, Youtsey was reportedly incensed when Democratic State Senator Goebel contested his loss to William S. Taylor in the 1899 Governor's race, as it was believed that the Democrat-controlled legislature would rule against Taylor. Witnesses would later testify hearing Youtsey express his desire to eliminate Goebel.

On January 30, 1900, Goebel was shot by a sniper in front of the State Capitol in Frankfort; he died on February 3, four days after unseating Taylor as Governor. Youtsey emerged as a suspect early in the investigation and on March 27 he was arrested while trying to leave Frankfort disguised as a woman. He initially told police he had acted as a liaison between Governor Taylor and those who plotted Goebel's death. Republican Party officials suggested that Youtsey acted alone and invented the conspiracy theory to avoid the death penalty, but by June 1900 sixteen men had been indicted for murder and complicity, including Taylor (who escaped arrest by fleeing to Indiana).

Three would stand trial, including Kentucky Secretary of State Caleb Powers, accused of masterminding the plot, and alleged gunman Jim Howard. Both were convicted, with Howard sentenced to death (subsequently commuted to life imprisonment). At his own trial in October Youtsey faked insanity (as he later admitted) and had to be brought into the courtroom strapped to a cot. The prosecution maintained he had access to Powers' office next to the State House, from where the fatal shots were supposedly fired; he had used his key to let Howard enter, and had supplied the ammunition.

A number of witnesses placed him at the scene, some claiming they saw him holding a rifle. He was found guilty of conspiracy and sentenced to life. Youtsey never appealed the verdict, though he later turned state's evidence and was a prosecution witness at Powers' 1903 retrial, which resulted in another conviction. It was ultimately concluded that due process in the original trials was corrupted by partisan tactics.

In 1908 and 1909 Governor Augustus E. Willson pardoned everyone convicted of or indicted for Goebel's murder - everyone but Youtsey, who Willson personally believed was the shooter. He remained in prison another decade, serving as a volunteer chaplain.

Youtsey was paroled in December 1918 and pardoned by Governor James D. Black the following year. The rest of his life was spent quietly in his native Cold Spring. While it appears certain that Youtsey had a role in the assassination, precisely what it was - messenger, gunman's accomplice, or the gunman himself - will probably never be known.

Youtsey died May 2, 1942 in Cold Spring, Campbell County and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery in Southgate.
Clay's Quilt

Clay's Quilt is a novel written by Silas House. It was first published in 2001.

## Description

Clay Sizemore is in his mid-twenties and has tired of his living-for-the-weekend lifestyle. Clay has spent much of his life being defined by an event from his childhood, when he witnesses his mother's murder as a four-year-old during a terrible snowstorm. When he meets an attractive fiddler named Alma he decides that it is time to take control of his own story. But there are complications with Alma's recent ex-husband that pound home the theme of cyclical violence. As Clay tries to find out the truth about how and why his mother was killed he falls into a situation that reveals we all have the capability to be violent, and that we can all make the choice not to be.

Clay's Quilt gives insight into a misunderstood region and is one of the few books set in Appalachia that is contemporary to the time in which it was written. House has said this is one of the main reasons he wrote the book, to make up for the lack of literature that shows a nuanced and modern look at Appalachia and the rural South.

John Croghan

Dr. John Croghan (April 23, 1790 – January 11, 1849) was an American medical doctor who helped establish the United States Marine Hospital of Louisville and organized some tuberculosis medical experiments and tours for Mammoth Cave, in Kentucky (U.S.) during 1839–1849.

John Croghan was born in Jefferson County, Kentucky on April 23, 1790. He was the son of William Croghan and Lucy Clark, sister of the famous William Clark of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. He attended the College of William and Mary, starting in 1807 and graduated in 1809. From 1810 to 1813, he was a student at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine. He then returned to Kentucky where he helped establish the Louisville Marine Hospital in 1823, serving as its director until 1832.

In October 1839, he bought 2,000 acres near the Green River that included Mammoth Cave. He had planned to use the cave for medical purposes, as well as tourist use; he expected that its steady climate could benefit tuberculosis patients. Deep within the cave, patients suffering from the disease lived in wooden and stone huts. Visitors during this experiment reported hearing constant coughing from the patients who appeared as pale, skeleton-like figures inside the huts. The smoke emitted by large fires, used for cooking and warmth, further harmed the suffering patients. Several patients died, and the rest grew more sickly, causing the experiment to end in failure in 1843. The cool temperatures in the cave harmed rather than helped the patients. Croghan's experiment added much to the medical profession's knowledge of tuberculosis and helped lead the way for control of the disease. Dr. Croghan himself died of the disease in 1849. Today, there are two remaining stone huts out of the original eight that can be found in Mammoth Cave.

He also continued using the cave as a tourist attraction. Following plans of the owner from the prior year, John Croghan used the services of Stephen Bishop, and other slaves, to conduct extensive mapping of the caves and provide guided tours. Interest in the caves grew. Dr. Croghan's own declining health, due to tuberculosis, led him to spend more time at his family's estate, Locust Grove, but he remained involved in the development of Mammoth Cave. He died on January 11, 1849, and left his estate and Mammoth Cave to his brother, his nieces, and his nephews, who organized cave tours until 1926.

Ghosts of Old Louisville: True Tales of Hauntings in America's Largest Victorian Neighborhood

Ghosts of Old Louisville: True Tales of Hauntings in America's Largest Victorian Neighborhood is a book written by David Dominé. It was first published in 2005.

## Description

Old Louisville in Louisville, Kentucky, is the third-largest National Preservation District in the United States and the largest Victorian-era neighborhood in the country. Beneath the balconies and terraces of the district's Gothic, Queen Anne, and Beaux Arts mansions, current residents trade riveting stories about their historic homes. Many of these tales defy rational explanation. When David Dominé moved into one of these houses, he dismissed local rumors of a resident poltergeist named Lucy. However, before long, unnerving, disembodied footsteps and mysterious odors caused him to flee his home in the middle of the night.

Since that night, David Dominé not only embraced the possibility of supernatural phenomenon but also turned it into a popular tour series and best-selling collection of books, which have brought new attention to this iconic neighborhood. The book that launched the guided tours, Ghosts of Old Louisville, introduced readers to the hauntingly beautiful Lady of the Stairs and the Widow Hoag, who waits eternally near Fountain Court for a lost child who will never return. These tales of things that go bump in the night not only reveal why Old Louisville is considered the "most haunted neighborhood in America," but also help to preserve this historically and architecturally significant community.
