Abandoned structures are places that open the imagination, invite interpretation, and tell stories of bygone eras. This book features photography from the author's journeys throughout the blight of the Appalachian Foothills, featuring autumnal colors and remnants of the once thriving coal mining regions. The unique distress, dark history, and objects left behind in the photos display an up-close and personal vantage point not accessible to passerby. Readers will enjoy stunning photos that display a look into Eastern Kentucky's rich heritage. Through the twists, turns, hills, and valleys, a world unknown to outsiders is thoughtfully explored and documented. Abandoned farmhouses, storefronts and industrial buildings, old-time schools, a country church, a historic mansion of a town founder, coal mining equipment, roadside cars, and more, all collectively make Abandoned Eastern Kentucky a must read for photography and history enthusiasts. Enjoy the beautiful contrast between Americana and a chilling past.

Ghost Railroads Of Kentucky written by Elmer Griffith Sulzer and has been published by Indiana University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1998 with Business & Economics categories.
Ghost Railroads of Kentucky (first published in 1967) and its two sister volumes, Ghost Railroads of Indiana (1970) and Ghost Railroads of Tennessee (1975), provide the authoritative account of the abandoned lines in the railroad heartland east of the Mississippi. No mere compilation of dry statistics on track closings and running schedules (though they are here too!), this book is full of the life and vigor of Kentucky's economic arteries. Professor Sulzer, a consummate storyteller, recounts the human drama surrounding these ghost lines. Even poor Alex Richardson, shamefully lynched on the new railroad bridge over the Kentucky River at West Irvine, has his sad story told.

On a fall day in 1958, my mother put me and six brothers and sisters into a car. She took us seventy-five miles away from our Harlan County home and then abandoned us on the side of a road amidst the rugged Appalachian Mountains of Eastern Kentucky. Shortly thereafter, my siblings and I were separated and sent to a foster home and two orphanages. I was three years old, my youngest brother had just turned one, and my oldest brother was not yet thirteen. "Nobody's Child" grew out of an interest in that event and in family tales about a witch and a possible murder. It's a story about discovering the author's heritage among the moonshiners, coalminers, and truck drivers of Eastern Kentucky. Most of all, it's the true story of a journey to understand the circumstances and the desperation that drove my mother to do what she did, and to know what ultimately became of the twenty or so children that my parents brought into this world.

The stunning images found in Abandoned Kentucky offer us a window into our past, showing life in the Bluegrass State as it was back then, and stirring in us a sense of wonder and curiosity about those who have gone before us and the lives they lived. Go inside the historic Columbia Theatre in downtown Paducah and the shuttered Union Station depot in Henderson. From the Old Crow bourbon distillery along Glenn's Creek to the Parker Tobacco Company in Maysville, and a once grand farmhouse in McLean County, these photographs showcase the rich history and untold stories of abandoned places from one corner of Kentucky to the other. Where others may see only decay and rot in these long-forgotten locations, Sherman Cahal, Adam Paris and Michael Maes see exquisite beauty.

Abandoned structures are places that open the imagination and invite interpretation. Distressed wood and weathered remnants of human life are crossed by time and animal tracks, inviting one to picture what once was. Abandoned homes and buildings offer a unique, distressed beauty. While often overlooked by passers-by, their skeletal remains act as the perfect subject for the lens of a camera, quietly waiting to be documented and shared. Abandoned Kentucky: Bygone Echoes of the Bluegrass State explores this haunting narrative and display of photos by urban explorer and photographer, Jay Farrell. In this book, you'll enjoy a variety of dilapidated structures, including abandoned farmhouses, country stores, a church from the late 1800s, and so much more. Readers are encouraged to explore the forgotten corners of the state, see the world through different eyes, and take the long road home.

In 1865, as the Civil War was drawing to a close, plans were underway in Boston for a railroad construction project to begin in Greenup County, Kentucky. Eventually the Eastern Kentucky Railway Company would extend its main track through two more counties, Carter and Lawrence. Spanning just 36 miles of main track from Riverton to Webbville, the Eastern Kentucky Railway became a lifeline for the economic and social activities of the people of northeastern Kentucky. Even though the original plan of extending the railway much farther south and bridging the Ohio River to the north never came about, the railway struggled along for more than 65 years. Many people who grew up along the line passed their experiences to younger generations; some, like Jesse Stuart, wrote about them. This volume will show life along the rail line that lent its name to the highways now running its route.
