Through Two Hundred Years: Pictorial Highlights Of Harrodsburg And Mercer County, Kentucky Chinn, George M. / Rebecca Wilson Conover, Research And Editing Kentucky

288pp, bibliography, index, map, profusely illustrated, maroon buckram covers with black spine, and gilt decoration and titles at cover and spine, an exceptionally clean, bright copy, inside and out, with only fault being a small bump to front edge of front cover as noted in picture. From the Foreword, "Only eight weeks will have elapsed between the evening the possibility of this volume was first considered and the day it is placed in the hands of the printer. It has been a hectic time -- consuming the waking hours of the day, seven days a week. There was, however, a glaring void in the preparations which had been made for the Bicentennial Celebration. There had been no attempt at a thorough recording of local history in over half a century. We were convinced that if such a publication was not forthcoming, much of its potential content would be lost or forgotten. Thus, we have pursued its actualization with others like ourselves -- those who want nothing more tangible than the volume itself as their compensation."
