Kentucky Biographies

Thanks to an edit request on one of my memorials on FindaGrave I recently became aware of a publication called The Biographical Encyclopaedia of Kentucky of the Dead and Living Men of the Nineteenth Century. It was published in Cincinnati in 1878 by J.M. Armstrong & Company and was digitized by the Internet Archive in 2016. 

In addition to 788 pages of biographical details, the book contains dozens of portraits, the publishers having gone "to great expense in inserting steel engravings" of the likenesses of many of the men included.
