Compiled as an act of love by the amateur historian J. Winston
"Squire" Coleman, a lifelong resident of the Lexington area, the
book offers bits of Bluegrass as well as national history. Along
with his focus on the development of stagecoach travel, the author
covers period details such as pioneer roads, taverns, conflicts
among drivers, travelers' adventures, mail carriers, turnpikes and
tollways, and the coming of the railroad. Celebrities who crossed
the Bluegrass by stage included statesman Henry Clay, singer Jenny
Lind, gambler Sam Austin, and abolitionist Delia Webster.
