Addition to Kentucky history books

The most recent addition to the growing list of Kentucky state history books is It Happened In Kentucky by Mimi O'Malley. What sets this title apart from the rest is the fact that it is not a comprehensive encyclopedia of the state, but a fascinating look at little or unknown events which shaped the Bluegrass State's colorful history. Chapters are enjoyable for popular reading or for use as an ancillary piece for social studies curriculum. Amazon.com notes, "These twenty-three fun, easy-to-read events reveal the history of Kentucky from the discovery of mastadon bones to daring slave escapes to the making of the famous Louisville Slugger to a tale of corruption in the horseracing world."
