Item description from seller

Early days in Marshall County, Kentucky, are recalled in this new 29-page booklet titled: Marshall County, Kentucky, USA . The spiral-bound booklet is a compilation of excerpts from two hard to find sources: the 1885 book, Kentucky: A History of the State by J.H. Battle, W.H. Perrin and G.C. Kniffin, and Kentucky, a Guide to the Bluegrass State, a 1939 product of the WPA Writer's Program. The tri-color front cover is printed on 80# card stock and has been protected with a vinyl sheet. The text is printed single-sided on opaque paper, with the print enlarged to fit the 8.5" x 11" paper and improve readability.
