About This Item
Louisville, KY: F.A. Battey & Co., 1885. Early days in Graves County, Kentucky, are recalled in this new 45-page booklet titled: Graves County, Kentucky, USA . The spiral-bound booklet is a compilation of excerpts from two hard to find sources: the 1885 book, Kentucky: A History of the State by J.H. Battle, W.H. Perrin and G.C. Kniffin, and Kentucky, a Guide to the Bluegrass State, a 1939 product of the WPA Writer's Program. The tri-color front cover is printed on 80# card stock and has been protected with a vinyl sheet. The text is printed single-sided on 60# opaque paper, with the print enlarged to fit the 8.5" x 11" paper and improve readability. Towns mentioned in the booklet include: Mayfield (county seat), Water Valley, Wingo, Lynnville, Farmington, Feliciana, Hickory Grove, Boydsville, Symsonia, Dukedom and Pryorsburgh. (Note: Present-day Graves County includes Mayfield, Water Valley, Wingo, Bell City, Boaz, Dogwood, Fancy Farm, Farmington, Folsomdale, Hickory, Kaler, Lowes, Lynnville, Melber, Pottsville, Sedalia, Symsonia, Viola and West Viola, according to the National Association of Counties website.
