Clemens reflects/Civil War embittered Twain"by Marshall Myers. Click Here to read. The book is about Lt. Clemens' two weeks of service in the Confederate army and tells of his family's slaveholding in Adair County.

Byron Crawford has story on Adair Co., KY oil this morning Adair County's fame as oil exporting country spreads across Kentucky You may want to rush out and buy a copy of The Courier Journal Sunday paper this morning. It's worth the 25 surcharge war price the Rochester, NY publishers charge Adair Countians--something the Binghams, God bless them, would never have done--to get the hard copy. It's $2.00 here; $1.75 closer to Louisville, KY. Today's edition carries a column by Byron Crawford entitled "Dreams of Oil Return to Adair County" and cites Jimmy Reliford, Rick-Rod Oil Company, and brothers Rickey Rodgers and Ronnie Rodgers, and includes several Joe L. Barbee quotes, including a classic memory Mr. Barbee has of the late Dr. M.C. Loy. 2008-05-18 04:34:42 | Comments | Printable version
