Stage-Coach Days in the Bluegrass

When Stage-Coach Days in the Bluegrass was first published in 1935 by the Standard Press in Louisville (KY), the New York Times reviewer described this charming work as an interesting example of that very useful class of [Books], local histories, which so rarely get the attention they deserve. This work of regional culture is an intriguing look at an age gone by. Stagecoaches came to Kentucky in 1803, when the first commercial line started running between Lexington, The Athens of the West, and the resort of Olympia Springs, east of Mount Sterling.
