KY Afield Outdoors: 1967 - Kentucky's Red November A KY Afield Outdoors audio documentary observing the 50th anniversary of the 1967 protest hike leading to the undamming of Red River Gorge. They write, "On November 18, 1967, one of Kentucky's most scenic and treasured wilderness areas was poised to become Red River Lake. The pivotal visit by U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas placed the local controversy into the national spotlight. Covered by CBS News, TIME Magazine and others, the battle endured for years between environmental factions, dam proponents, as well as state and federal officials...with Powell County flood control in the balance. Today, this chapter of Red River Gorge and Kentucky's natural history is largely forgotten, but is retold by the voices that made it happen." 2016-12-09 09:14:30 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Ky Afield Outdoors
100 Years Ago - Judge Baker writes of Col. Daniel Trabue So many interesting details about Daniel Trabue, including "He was also one of the organizers of the Baptist church in Columbia as the minutes show and was commissioned by the Governor of the State and served as Sheriff of the county. He died in Green county Sept., 10th 1840. . . and of interest today to those who might want to put a religious connotation on alcholic beverages, the passages below show that "the other Dan," as Vonnie Kolbenschlag refers to this early settler and Baptist Church founder, describes below one of Daniel Trabue's transaction with a sutler for some rum and brandy. Click on headline for complete story By Jim From late January through early November, 1918, Judge H.C. Baker presented to readers of the Adair County News a series of 41 lengthy vignettes under the umbrella title "Sketches of Adair County." The fourth such sketch, published in the February 13, 1918 edition of the paper, dealt with the life and times of Col. Daniel Trabue. Colonial Men and Times, mentioned in the opening paragraph, below, likely was a major source of information for Judge Baker's article. This volume, published in 1916 (Innes & Sons, Philadelphia) is viewable online as a pdf; to locate, use the title and the expression "Daniel Trabue" as the search terms. The following is a transcription of the Col. Trabue sketch. By design, an aside within this narrative dealing with an incident in the life of Capt. (later Col.) Daniel Boone has been excluded. Capitalization (or lack thereof) and spellings are maintained as published in the newspaper.
