I think you would enjoy hearing Rachel Grimes’ album The Way Forth. Available on Bandcamp, it’s a musical look into the history of her ancestors who settled in Kentucky, during the same times as your essay here. Although I’m an Akron Ohio boy by birth, my folks were from Pulaski County Kentucky, part of the Military District on your map. Settlement of both sides of my family there goes back seven generations.
Oh, and one more thing. I only recently learned why there are so many Pulaski towns and counties in the south. I may have to write about the handsome Polish count some day.

Wow, there's nothing I love more than a hot tip. THANKS!
