Description

Boone County, an enlightening new volume of vintage images,
recaptures the early days of a quiet, conservative community
dedicated to the joys and responsibilities of their faith, their families,
and farming their land. Comprised of more than 200 images, most
of which were contributed by residents descended from early Boone
County families, this journey back to the early days of Kentucky's
northernmost county celebrates the spirit of the county's residents
and honors their experience from the 1880s to the 1940s.
From the county's northern boundary at the Ohio River, where
the Anderson Ferry has run continuously since 1817, to the rolling
pastures of the southern region, this collection captures the unique
personalities of rural communities prior to the wave of development
that enveloped the county after the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport began in 1947.
