Reviews
A good general reference source...excellent resources.-Register of the kentucky Historical Society
This work, like the others, consolidates information that otherwise would be time-consuming to retrieve. Using the bibliographies, interested researchers can pursue an individual or state in more depth. This work is recommended for academic and state libraries.-American Reference Books Annual
