Keen Johnson was governor of Kentucky from 1939 to 1943 -- years
that spanned the end of the Depression and the initial involvement
of this country in the Second World War. The account of Johnson's
administration is chronicled here through a collection of his
public papers. The material, organized by subject and arranged
chronologically within each area, presents a rather clear picture
of Governor Johnson's plans and concerns for Kentucky and of the
actions he took as chief executive on behalf of the state. In
contrast to contemporary procedures concerning the preservation of
governors' papers in university and state archives, many of the
Johnson papers were difficult to locate and, apart from a few
complete speech manuscripts, were reconstructed in large part from
cards containing outlines and notes for speeches, along with many
state and local newspaper accounts of speeches he made and of
events in which he participated. Many speeches have been
extensively footnoted by the editor to provide the reader with
supplementary information. Also included in this volume is a
perceptive evaluation of the Johnson administration by H. Clyde
Reeves, who served in it as a commissioner of revenue. The appendix
offers as complete a listing as was possible to reconstruct of the
speeches delivered by Governor Johnson during his term of office.
