Starting the Kaintuckeean
Following my last law school exam in the spring of 2009, I set out for a drive with no destination. I’d long been a history buff. After all, history is in the genes.
As I drove I rekindled a passion for history and created a blog called The Kaintuckeean. On the blog, I could share anecdotes, photographs, and more of Kentucky’s rich and unique history.
The award-winning Kaintuckeean has received awards from the University of Kentucky and the Blue Grass Trust Trust for Historic Preservation. The blog was a launching point for the publication of Lost Lexington (History Press: 2014). Other books by Peter Brackney include The Murder of Geneva Hardman and Lexington’s Mob Riot of 1920 (History Press: 2020) and A History Lover’s Guide to Lexington and the Bluegrass Region (History Press: 2020, with co-author Foster Ockerman, Jr.).
