these foundations. It is a complicated and fascinating subject. The
present book furnishes a broad basis for knowing the State that every
Kentuckian loves so devotedly; moreover, it suggests again and again
the courtesy, the graciousness, and the charm of living that are tradi-
tional here.
The articles in this book have described Kentucky scenes, resources,
and attitudes. Photographs and maps strengthen the written word. l
The traveler will rejoice that touring routes have been planned to re- ?
veal the most significant aspects of the State, and the interest of his l
journeys into Kentucky will be greatly enhanced if he has this book. `
While the reader turns the pages let him remember that it is impos- `
sible to say everything that he would wish said, or to say it as he would `
wish it said. Anyone who knows the difficulty of bringing unity to a ’
guidebook will be pleased by the accomplishment of the State director
· and of the staff writers. We are thankful that the Kentucky Guide is `
a reality, and we are grateful to all those who have contributed their A
time and talents to add to our pleasure and our understanding. `
