A PICTORIAL TRIBUTE TO RACCOON JOHN SMITH |
|
|
|
In collecting and compiling the information for my latest book, RACCOON JOHN SMITH: FRONTIER KENTUCKY'S MOST FAMOUS PREACHER, I amassed quite a collection of images. The University Press of Kentucky could only include a fraction of them in the finished work, so I include some of the extras here, the portraits of individuals with whom a genuine Kentucky legend once worked and preached. Special thanks to Scott Harp of TheRestorationMovement.com and to David Vardiman for their generous contributions. |
