Kentucky Classic Stringtown on the Pike (1900) to be reprinted.
Very few small cities in America have a novel written about them. Florence is one of those few. This project is to make this work available to the general public and to commemorate the 175th anniversary of Florence, also known as Stringtown on the Pike. If you would like to type one of the 67 chapters (plus a missing chapter that will be included, bringing the total to 68), write referencelibrarian@fastmail.fm and request your chapter. Your name will appear in the front of the book as one of the typists. It is anticipated a large number of people will want to participate in this commemorative edition, so only one chapter can be assigned at a time. The book will appear with additional biographical material about the author, historical material about Florence, and supplementary material, such as the author's notes about the negro dialect which appears in the book, as well as an index and a full introduction. The new edition of this book, which is in the public domain, will be published as an etext on this internet site, and subscriptions will be accepted at that time for printed copies of the book to be published by the Stringtown University Press, Florence.
