Wayward JIM of History Cousins resurrects opines of Cyrus Posted as required reading in preparation for the First Annual Book Fair, June 2, 2012, to be held at the Historic Adair County, KY Courthouse, 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY. Ed, You know I am a man of peace who steers things up only as a last resort, but do you think it would help any to resurrect the (in)famous Cyrus "list of 15" Adair County books, perhaps with a Waggenerian intro challenging Adair Countians to come up with better choices and/or additional choices of books published in the ensuing six years since the list appeared? (Ol' Cyrus is pretty thick-skinned, I'm told, so feel free to "Lay on, McWaggener!")The Cyrus Magnum Opus, retrieved from the moldy dustbins of ancient CM 2006 archives, follows: Long-awaited ''Cyrus List'' of 15 (updated May 20, 2012; now 16) Great Adair Books finally released Cyrus opens list to comments, debate The next time you're bored, zip over to town and buy a dozen ping pong balls, then try to juggle them, underwater.That's rather what it's been like trying to select a representative list of 12-15 "Adair County books of general interest, non-fiction." The awkward heading simply indicates this list is limited to books which focus specifically on Adair County and/or Adair Countians. There is another list. The list below represents my best effort. It is not the list; rather, it's an appetizer for the nearly endless buffet of Adair County books, articles, essays and the like. *Comments welcomed. And may the lively debate continue! With thanks to the many who have helped, CYRUS Tough-hided Central Ohio Bureau Chief of general interest (non-fiction) Released to world 1:00 p.m. CST, Saturday, March 18, 2006 Adair County: A Historical Overview and the History of Education in the County Through 1992, Volume I, Minne Corbin Rubarts.
