About the book
Although historians have assumed previously that early Kentucky was a one-party area, Watlington has discovered that there were actually three active parties — the partisan,“ ”court,“ and ”country.“ From the land-grant maze following the 1779 migration, through a brief Tory movement and even James Wilkinson’s intrigue for a Spanish connection, she traces the parties' development and their struggle for power in the vigorous world of postrevolutionary Kentucky politics.”
Originally published in 1974.
