Book Description
The Tuleyries is the story of a grand estate and the Federal mansion which is its centerpiece. Through the almost two centuries it has stood gazing out to the Blue Ridge, The Tuleyries has been a landmark in Clarke County, Virginia, a considerable achievement given the number of competitors in the area. Architecturally unique in many ways, it bears careful study and that study will bring great pleasure. Two families have cherished and maintained The Tuleyries since its construction in the early 1830s by Joseph Tuley Jr. From him, it passed to his niece and remained in her family until 1903 when it was purchased by Graham Blandy, a wealthy New York broker who had a love for the house and the farm. Following his death, it passed to his wife, then her sister, then her sister's son, and most recently to his son and daughter. Their stories are equally intriguing.

History of Shelby County, Kentucky
Author: George L. Willis
Publisher: Heritage Books
ISBN: 9780788411786
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
Shelby County was for a long time the geographical center of the United States and for a longer period its center of population. It was Squire Boone, the younger brother of Daniel Boone, who began the settlement of Shelby County Territory, around 1779. The first of Shelby's peculiarly large number of Stations was that of the "Painted Stone." The book is divided into seven parts. Part One is about the county itself. The author shows the reader the geology, boundaries and topography of the county, as well as a look at the first visitors and settlers and the county's first century. Part Two gives a more in-depth look into the Stations of the county and its many towns and villages. Parts Three and Four give the reader information about the many churches, schools and other institutions of the county. Part Five explores the county's early pioneers; the biographies include those of Squire Boone, William Shannon, Col. Charles S. Todd, William Logan, John Allen, Col. Abraham Owen, Gov. John Pope, Capt. John Simpson, Moses Hall, Dr. John Knight, Nicholas Merriwether and Joseph Hornsby. Part Six contains some traditions and reminiscences of the county, including: the Long Run Massacre, the Silver Mine Agreement, reminiscences from John W. Williamson and Judge Luther Clay Willis. The book's final part deals with county statistics. Some of these include: first tax list, senators and representatives, Constitutional delegates, county judges, county clerks, postmasters, early marriages, Revolutionary soldiers, Shelby County Masons, and noted burial ground. A new full-name index is included as well as many photos.
