The Greens Of Falls Of Rough: A Kentucky Family Biography 1795-1965, Hugh Ridenour
The Greens Of Falls Of Rough: A Kentucky Family Biography 1795-1965, Hugh Ridenour
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The purpose of writing about the Greens of Falls of Rough is to record the extraordinary lives of three generations of a prominent, but somewhat neglected, Kentucky family that contributed greatly to the history of the Commonwealth. This family’s activities parallel that history in social, economic and political aspects from the state’s inception to the 1960s.
In addition, this thesis should alleviate a pervasive misunderstanding regarding the identity of Willis Green, founder of the Greens of Falls of Rough. Mr. Green, a prominent Kentuckian in his own right, has been confused with another Kentuckian, a Willis Green of Danville. The …

Tobacco Farming: The Persistence Of Tradition, Eugene Umberger Jr.
Tobacco Farming: The Persistence Of Tradition, Eugene Umberger Jr.
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The culture of tobacco has been associated with the history of Kentucky almost from the beginning and remains to this day a vital force in the state’s economy. In this age of scientific and technological advances – of increasing automation – we find that in tobacco farming, hand labor still figures prominently in the production of a major staple crop. This has resulted in the retention of traditional method, technology and terminology, long since lost in the culture of other crops which lent themselves more easily to mechanization.
The study is divided into three parts. Chapter I deals briefly with …
Green River Steamboating A Cultural History, 1828-1931, Helen Bartter Crocker
Green River Steamboating A Cultural History, 1828-1931, Helen Bartter Crocker
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
In recent years, historians have displayed a growing interest in the cultural development of certain well-defined regions. Often a river valley inspired such a study, for example, R.E. Banta’s The Ohio, Thomas Clark’s The Kentucky and Harriette Arnow’s Seedtime on the Cumberland. These and many other river histories dealt less with the river itself than with its tendency to define and alter an area’s culture
This thesis, dealing with the culture of Green River’s steamboat era, is less about the steamboat or Green River than it is about their effect on river people. It searches the area’s homes, schools, business …

The Career Of Edward Ward Carmack And The Cooper-Sharp Trial, Robert Franklin Crutcher
The Career Of Edward Ward Carmack And The Cooper-Sharp Trial, Robert Franklin Crutcher
Masters Theses & Specialist Projects
The subject of this thesis was suggested to the writer in October 1931, by the History Department of the Western Kentucky State Teachers College. The writer at that time was considering a number of other subjects, but seeing that material could be located easily, and that the field suggested by the subject had not been covered, this subject was chosen. When much of the material had been located and examined it was clearly seen that the material in the field could be grouped under two heads and given this title, “Career of Edward Ward Carmack and the Cooper-Sharp Trial”.
