OverviewKentucky is richly blessed with rivers. This book tells the stories of three of the most beautiful and historic of them: the Rolling Fork, the Nolin, and the Rough. Each is an unpredictable force of nature flowing through a land that varies from wide, sunny meadows to dark, rock-bound hollows. Chapters describe the people who lived in the river valleys, including pioneers, frontier preachers, a future president, cave explorers, Confederate and Union soldiers, desperate killers, hardscrabble farmers, and inspired visionaries. Sometimes they were wasteful and violent and vain; at other times they were inventive, graceful and kind. Their descendants realized that survival had come to mean something new: living in harmony with the land and the rivers.
