Fleming County Kentucky Pioneers

This book is filled with Fleming County history and genealogy. I am unaware of any other history book on the historically significant Fleming County in Kentucky which contains this kind of information. Fleming County is the Covered Bridge Capital of Kentucky and was the site of many historical events, from the early exploration of Kentucky to the Civil War to railroads to Sousley of Iwo Jima fame and much more. From the preface: "The intentions of this writer was to put into print the history of Fleming County, Kentucky according to records he has had in his hands for a number of years and to honor the brave pioneers of this section of Kentucky, both men and women who came to make their homes and rear their families when this was a vast wilderness. Out of this wilderness has been carved some of the best farms in Kentucky. Their descendants are honorable men in the various business fields."
