Louisville's Filson Historical Society (filsonhistorical.org) is great and we, the state is lucky to have it.

Louisville's Speed Art Museum has a permanant Kentucky collection on display (https://www.speedmuseum.org/art_collection/kentucky-collection-1800-1945/)

John James Audubon state park and museum (https://parks.ky.gov/parks/recreationparks/john-james/) is a treasure if you're into the local environment and ornithology even in the slightest.

Another somewhat famous painter is Paul Sawyier https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Sawyier who painted beautiful watercolors of the bluegrass region.

IIRC when I was a kid our public schools required a year? of Kentucky History in 4th grade. There was a textbook even that gave the glossy version of the state history.

Please read Lincoln and the Negro, by Benjamin Quarles.

>First published in 1962, Lincoln and the Negro was the first book to examine in detail how Lincoln faced the problem of the status of black people in American democracy, and it remains unsurpassed. Starting with Lincoln's childhood attitudes, Benjamin Quarles traces the development of Lincoln's thought in relation to the African American, a development which was to culminate in the Emancipation Proclamation. Concerned at first with methods of colonization outside the United States, Lincoln came later to advocate not only emancipation of the slaves, but also equal political rights for them. In addition, he was the first president to invite black Americans to the White House and to treat them as equals. Black attitudes towards Lincoln evolved almost as much Lincoln's own attitude. When he was first elected, blacks expected very little from Lincoln. But he slowly gained their respect—by recognition of individual African Americans, by placing them in the Union Army, and ultimately by the Emancipation Proclamation. His assassination served to enshrine him as a hero for the newly freed slaves. Lincoln and the Negro, in examining both sides of the relationship, is a vitally important contribution to our understanding of Abraham Lincoln and of American democracy itself.

The 'Customers who bought this item also bought' and 'Sponsored products related to this item' is the best example of the right wing wackjob press I've seen in a while.

The icing on the cake was

'Investigative reporter Luke Rosiak is being hailed as “one of the smartest, most diligent reporters in Washington” (TUCKER CARLSON) and “a bulldog” (DANA LOESCH) for uncovering “what is possibly the largest scandal and coverup in the history of the United States House of Representatives” (NEWT GINGRICH). '

three traitors for sure.

I was actually there yesterday! I've got a great book of all of Kentucky's cities and counties and how they got their names. It's a pretty fascinating reference book.

I have a friend who is a biology teacher and ordained Pastafarian. He plans on teaching it as an alternative to evolution.

Did you look at this used one on Amazon? Not sure if it's the same book but I followed the link on good reads.

This charger is really good. I charged it over 2 months ago for a music festival, used it all weekend, and it still has most of its charging capabilities. I haven’t charged it again since the initial charge.

A History of Kentucky by Thomas Clark.

Read this for some insight on yourself and your fellow Republicans. "Idiot America: how stupidity became a virtue in the land of the free"

For early pre-statehood history in a narrative (historical fiction but well researched) format, The Frontiersman and That Dark and Bloody River: Chronicles of the Ohio River Valley, both by Allan W Eckert. I read much of Eckert's catalog as a teen and it really helped me understand and connect with my roots as a Kentuckian.

It looks candid (a.k.a) not very good. The photo doesn't follow a compositional rule, there isn't any posturing, the angle is terrible, the lighting is natural, the f/stop on that lens had to have been at least 2.8 - 3.5. The bokeh isn't impressive. The white balance is off, it's blue/tungsten/purple and oversaturated. The contrast is too soft, it wasn't sharpened properly (suggesting an in-camera jpeg instead of RAw) and it isn't in focus.

This guy is either stingy, didn't pay a better photographer $80 to show up with a 50mm 1.8 and a $300 camera or he deliberately conspired with a news outlet, chose his worst suit, vomited in the restroom first and made himself look disheveled and unattractive. Humans unconsciously form an opinion of a person (trustworthyness, etc.) within 5 to 15 seconds from a photo (the more handsome candidate usually wins by 63%). A photographer has no incentive to botch a photo of a politician.

Conclusion: Real photo taken in jpeg by a rural periodical.

This guy looks like he's about to chug bourbon and take a whiskey shit. It's terrible.

It's also a two-month-old article.

The only thing worse than an ignoramus is a willful, proud ignoramus. I know using Google and actually reading is an issue for you but you have completely embarrassed yourself at this point and it’s obvious you’re not interested in any truth that negates your poorly constructed worldview.

None of this is a secret or conspiracy theory and should be common knowledge to anyone who’s paid an iota of attention since the 90s.
