Appalachian History Most people who pass through Pikeville today remember the Cut-Through, the bypass, and the steep hills that hem the Levisa Fork into a narrow river bottom. During the first years of the Civil War, that same narrow valley became one of the most hotly contested corridors in eastern Kentucky.
Appalachian History Clark County never hosted a Shiloh or a Gettysburg. The war here arrived on horseback, in sudden raids, in the rumble of distant cannon, and in petitions scratched out to the governor from Winchester law offices.
Appalachian History Wayne County sits where Kentucky leans into Tennessee, a high ridge country that looks down on the Cumberland River. In the 1860 census the county was still mostly small farms and stock raisers, with only a handful of enslaved people compared to the Bluegrass. That did not keep the war away. Local politics were tangled from the start.
Appalachian History On a February night in 1865, riders splashed out of the hills and into the farms along Bolts Fork in western Boyd County. By dawn, horses were gone, homes had been stripped, and a Union cavalryman on leave lay dead near Cannonsburg.
Appalachian History Leslie County did not appear on the map until 1878, when the legislature carved it from Clay, Harlan, and Perry Counties and named it for Governor Preston H. Leslie. Its new seat, Hyden, rose at the mouth of Rockhouse Creek on the Middle Fork of the Kentucky River, in a landscape of steep ridges and narrow bottoms. That geography matters.
Appalachian History Rowan County on the War’s Ragged Edge When the Civil War reached the upper Licking River, Rowan County was still a young place. Created in 1856 from parts of Fleming and Morgan Counties, it had a new courthouse at Morehead, scattered farms along Triplett Creek and the Licking, and roads that threaded east and west toward Mt. Sterling, Flemingsburg, and the Virginia line.
A couple of days ago - in light of Mozilla (once again) doubling down in poor decision making - I was saying how it’s a good idea to donate to alternative projects instead, every time Mozilla fails us. But all joking aside, given the state of the world , it’s indeed a good time to support our best shots at maintaining independent software stacks.
