Kentucky in the Nation's History

Предња корица
Moffat, Yard, 1909 - 590 страница

Such local events as have had a distinctly national influence, as well as such national events as have particulary affected local conditions, have been my concern. A typical example of the first is presented in the Kentucky Resolutions of 1798, and, of the second, in the purchase of Louisiana.
