PREFACE.


THE late H. P. Peers, of the city of Maysville, laid the foundation for the work which is now presented to the reading community. Mr. Peers designed it to be simply a small Gazetteer of the State ; and had collected, and partially arranged for publication, the major part of the materials, comprising a description of the towns and counties. Upon his de- cease, the materials passed into the hands of the Author, who determined to remodel them, and make such additions as would give permanency and increased value to the work. He has devoted much labor to this object; but circumstances having rendered its publication necessary at an earlier day than was contemplated, some errore may have escaped, which more time, and a fuller investigation would have enabled him to detect.


Serious obstacles have been encountered, in the preparation of the Biographical Sketches. Many of those which appear in the work, were prepared from the personal recollections of the Author ; while others have been omitted, because he did not know to whom he could apply for them, or having applied and in some instances repeatedly, failed in procuring them. This is his apology, for the non-appearance of many names in that department, which are entitled to a distinguished place in the annals of Kentucky.


In the preparation of the work, one design of the Author has been to preserve, in a durable forn, those rich fragments of local and personal history, many of which exist, at preatt, only in the ephemeral form of oral tradition, or are treasured up among the recollections of the agol actors in the stirring scenes. the memory of which is thus perpetuated. These venerable witnesses from a former age, are rapidly passing away from our midst. and with them will be buried the knowledge of much that is most interesting in the primitive history of the commonwealth. It is from sources such as we have mentioned, that the materials for the future historian are to be drawn ; and, like the scattered leaves of the Sybil. they frail mementos of the past should be gathered up and preserved with religious veneration. If the Author shall have succeeded, in thus redeeming from oblivion any considerable er important portion of the early history of the State, his design will be fully accomplished, and bis labor amply rewarded.


Of all the members of this great republican confederacy, there is none whose history is more nich in the variety, quality, and imerest of its materials. The poet, the warrior, and the statesman can each find subjects, the contemplation of which will instruct him in his act : and to the general reader, it would. perhaps, be impossible to present a field of more varas! and attractive interest.


It is proper that the Author should state that he has received the assistance of many able pens, in the preparati u of the work. The " Outline History," embracing about eighty pages, was written by John A. M'Clung, E-q., of Washington. Wilham P. Conwell, Enj., of Mayevite, has rendered important aid, particularly in the biographical departament. He is the writer of the Sketches. among others, of the Hot. Henry Clay. Gen. George R. gore Clark, Cal. Daniel Boone, and Gen. Z. Taylor. The authen is also greatly indebted to Col. Charies S. Todd of Shelby county ; Henry Wailer, R. H. Stanton, and William H Wad- worth, Eaqrs., of the city of Maysville; Nolife Butler, Esqr. (author of a late and exref.ent
