<p> Winner of a 2011 Kentucky Historical Society's General Award. --

<p> Because Pennington recounts how this more esoteric aspect of art history took place within a historical backdrop of extraordinary political, social, and ecomonic upheaval, he makes something recondite far more accessible and engrossing. --Library Journal --

<p> This book might well have been entitiled Painting Life in the Interior South, sa far (as so successfully) does it range behond Kentucky Portraiture. -- Indiana Magazine of History --

<p> Very informative and useful in learning about early Kentucky portraiture and what these paintings can tell a family-history researcher today. --Kentucky Ancestors --
