Join authors Blair Thomas Hess and Cameron M. Ludwick on a tour of the Bluegrass State’s food, drink, and rich cultural history. The two have crafted a clever book with a wide appeal. Whether readers are interested in visiting or just want a taste of the South. “Kentucky, Y’all: A Celebration of the People and Culture of the Bluegrass State” supplies recommendations for everything Kentucky.
The 15th state in the Union, Kentucky joined the United States in 1792. Though it wasn’t one of the first 13 colonies, it was a major player in the U.S. expansion to the West during the 19th century. Thousands of people passed through its fields, mountains, plains, and cities. Thousands made (and lost) their fortunes, whether on fried chicken, horse racing, or bourbon. There’s much to discover in the history and culture of the Bluegrass State.
