3 comments about Isaac Shelby a Driving Force in Americas: A Driving Force in America's Struggle for Independence.
- The book may not be perfect, but Isaac Shelby was a great man, and this is the first biography I have found of him. The book belongs in the library of every descendent of Isaac Shelby.
- This book is replete with gramatical errors, and the writing becomes incoherent in a few places. Example from page 65 "The `Kentucky Gazette`, Kentucky's first newspaper, was organized to act as a forum for statehood and seperation from Virginia. But debates started endorsing secession from the Confederation of States." The incoherencies in this book are topped off by contradictions of facts stated in it. Facts are stated often times more than once but don't corroborate each other. I think there is a minimum level of writing proficiency that is anticipated, and expected, by readers but the writing in this book falls far short of achieving it. The book should never have been published, for there are too many claring errors in it.
- Isaac Shelby fought in 3 wars for Independence. Lord Dunmore's War, The Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. He instigated the Battle of King's Mountain, South Carolina in 1780 that eliminated one third of Lord Corwallis' British Army. Named first Governor of Kentucky. Nine states have counties named for him, and there are countless towns and cities that carry his name.

1 comments about Ma Kiley: The Life of a Railroad Telegrapher (Southwestern Studies).
- This book is about a female Railroad telegrapher around the turn of the century.
For those interested in either Railroading Or Telegraphy, it is excellent. More than that, though, it shows the will of a woman who is determined to "make it" and she does not take any "stuff" off of anybody. She has a failed marriage and a baby and learns telegraphy as a matter of survival. Of course, it is still a male dominated profession but it shows the sheer will of survival and she goes about her way and does her job and she did succeed. Ma Kiley faced the same issues that working women do today: female discrimination, child care, etc, but she does it all and without complaint. I highly recommend this well written book to all who are interested in any of the subjects of telegraphy and railroading and this lady's spirit shows through.
