Kentuckians fought Kentuckians in some of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Kentucky historian Berry Craig gives a unique perspective on this time period by sharing little-known tales in Hidden History of Kentucky in the Civil War. From the Graves County gun grab to pirates in Paducah to dueling gunboats on the Mississippi, this one-of-a-kind collection will intrigue Civil War enthusiasts and casual readers alike. Craig is a professor of history at the West Kentucky Community and Technical College in Paducah and the author of True Tales of Old-Time Kentucky Politics: Bombast, Bourbon and Burgoo. He was a feature writer and columnist for the Paducah Sun-Democrat and Paducah Sun for many years. There is no cost for this event, though reservations are suggested.
