Reseña del libro "Around Maysville (en Inglés)"

Maysville, Kentucky, and the seven counties surrounding it are represented in this book. Sitting beside the swift currents of the Ohio River about 60 miles east of Cincinnati, Ohio, Maysville was established in 1787 by Simon Kenton and Daniel Boone and was originally named Limestone, later to be named Maysville. A shipping port for bourbon, wrought iron, and tobacco in the early years, it later became both a manufacturing hub and an agricultural community known as the world's finest tobacco market. Today, Maysville's Gateway Museum, just a few blocks from the iconic Simon Kenton Bridge, preserves the story of how the town became "the gateway to the south." Rosemary Clooney, US Supreme Court associate justice Stanley Reed, and many other prominent people are from this area. Some older businesses that helped this town grow have closed, but others like the Pogue Distillery, Caproni's Restaurant, and Wald Manufacturing live on as this town continues to thrive.Tom Roberson was born in Mayslick, Kentucky, and grew up in Maysville. Most images came from the author's 40-year hobby of collecting early-1900s historical postcards. Roberson is a retired residential builder and is always on the hunt for new images to add to his collection.
