Reviews:Well-written, with a genuine human appeal."-Thomas D. Clark "The real juice in this book is in Ardery's recollections of farm life, the people of the farms, and the history and atmosphere of Bourbon County."-John Ed Pearce "The Bluegrass is indeed fortunate to have produced someone who captures its rich legacy as capably as Ardery." -Georgia Historical Quarterly "Ardery's description of growing up as the son of a gentleman farmer-attorney is so vivid and loving you'll feel you are roaming through the woods and fields in his shoes." -Spur Magazine "Ardery writes about his family and his boyhood, portraits of a time gone by when life was gentler and far more respectable. He picked his topics well and set about to tell each story in a way to please anyone with even a passing interest in Kentucky." -Louisville Courier Journal
