Kentucky Exlporer

I keep thinking to myself that the Kentucky Explorer Magazine can't top itself, but it just keeps getting better!  I love this magazine and subscribe, but you can find it at the Appalachian Fireside Gallery in Berea, and at other places.

There is a very nice article about Abraham Lincoln's love life.  The author discusses how Lincoln's life has been (often unfairly) dissected and analyzed.  It is a very sincere article, written in 1909!

Still on a presidential note, this months issue covers Kentucky Candidates from long ago, including Henry Clay and Lawrenceburg's James B. Clark.  AND, there is a very cool article on Ronald Reagan's adopted son, Michael Reagan, and his Kentucky connections.

There is a very interesting write up from 1946 on the Mammoth Cave related collection of John M. Nelson (John is shown in the great photo on this months cover).  Mentioned in the collection are a petrified monkey and some human skulls!  I am curious about what became of the Nelson collection.
