Product Description

Frankfort invites readers to experience the state capital’s rich heritage and complex history. The story, told by more than 200 vintage photographs, includes the social and political unrest in Frankfort during the Confederate occupation of the Civil War. It traces the industries and businesses that allowed this city on the Kentucky River to prosper. Frankfort honors such architectural and historic gems as the two capitol buildings and Liberty Hall, home of Kentucky’s first United States senator. In some cases, these photographs are the sole surviving records of notable buildings lost to fire, flood, or that great and sometimes thoughtless leveler, progress.
