Lexington: Henry Clay Press, 1968. Hardcover. 16mo. Blue cloth, blue cloth slipcase. 44pp, (4pp). Frontispiece, illustrations. Near fine/near fine. Second, revised edition of this nifty pictorial essay, first published in a limited edition in 1938 -- inscribed and signed by the author large and bold in blue fountain pen on the front flyleaf: "Very truly yours, / J. Winston Coleman, Jr." No limitation statement, but being produced for the 15th anniversary of the Kentucky Civil War Round Table the quantity would have been low. Coleman (1898-1983) was a prolific Kentucky author and historian whose many books and dozens of pamphlets include "Masonry in the Bluegrass" (1933), "Slavery Times in Kentucky" (1940), "A Bibliography of Kentucky History" (1949) and "Historic Kentucky" (1967). A lovely, tight, handsome copy of this uncommon title.

Description:
Lexington: Henry Clay Press Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 1968. Revised Edition, 16mo, 48pp, illustrated. VG in VG slipcase. Inscribed and signed by the author, "Very truly yours/J. Winston Coleman, Jr." Coleman was one of Kentucky's foremost historians. From his foreword: "Lexington occupied a unique position in the War Between the States. Nowhere were families more divided, or sentiments so mixed. Both of the Civil War presidents, Lincoln and Davis, were Kentuckians, and each had a fond affection for the city. Lincoln married Mary Todd of Lexington, and Davis spent three years as a student at Transylvania. Though Lexington was occupied by Federal forces during most of the war, the city fell into Confederate hands three times.".
