Uncle Will of Wildwood is a warm and humorous memoir of the
nineteenth-century Bluegrass that recalls a defining period of
Kentucky's past. It was a time of self-sufficient country estates
when, as Thomas D. Clark writes in his introduction, "every
Bluegrass farm gate was the entryway into a ruggedly independent
domain." Wildwood was such a place, ruled by the affable Uncle Will
of this classic book.
Everything at Wildwood revolved around Will Goddard, who was "a
cross between a hurricane and an electric fan." Uncle Will -- with
his mad dashes into Harrodsburg for mowing-machine parts, his habit
of leaving his stallion Black Joe unhitched, his irrepressible
spirit, and his uncanny perception of the potential of a horse --
became a family and community legend.
A celebration of Kentucky before the arrival of the modern age,
Uncle Will of Wildwood fondly remembers life before the automobile,
before radio and television, and before growing cities eroded the
quiet and grand way of country life. Though Uncle Will's story is
nearly two hundred years old, his lessons of self-sufficiency,
community, and eccentricity are still pertinent today. In print for
the first time since 1974, Uncle Will of Wildwood captures the
riotous spirit of one Kentucky man and the flavor of country
life.
