Rampaging Frontier: Manners and Humors of Pioneer Days in the South and the Middle West by Thomas Dionysius Clark
I quit reading this book. It's not that it is uninteresting, but I wasn't enjoying it. For my taste, there was too much use of vernacular and dialect; it became annoying to me. I was hoping it was a collection of anecdotes from individuals in the frontier days, but instead the author had gone through collections and decided to tell about incidents and people in his own words, mimicking theirs. Somehow it made the whole thing dull for me.
This is a pamphlet of historical articles put together as part of the Kentucky '74-76 bicentennial events, specifically for the opening of the Fort Boonesborough Park Association opened in 1974. Historical articles were written by Jack K Hodgkin, Herndon J. Evans, Robert F. Collins, James J. Shannon, Henry C. Besuden, Dr. Quentin Begley Keen, J. Winston Coleman, Jr., Major James Channon, Clyde T. Burke, Dr. Hambleton Tapp, and Dr. Thomas D. Clark.
