About this book
"In The People's House: Governor's Mansions of Kentucky, Dr. Thomas D. Clark, Kentucky's historian laureate, and Margaret A. Lane paint a vivid portrait of the life inside the mansions' bricks and mortar. They examine the accomplishments and failures of their residents, the ideas and influences that have grown up within their walls, and the births, deaths, marriages, and celebrations that have brought life to the homes.".
"Complete with over two hundred color and black and white photographs and illustrations, many of them quite rare, this only account of Kentucky governor's mansions offers a unique glimpse inside the buildings that have been respected, revered, and used by the state's leaders for two centuries."--BOOK JACKET.
