Ludwick and Blair Thomas Hess take the reader on a very personal, very interesting, and very enjoyable tour of the Bluegrass State and its Civil War roots, which are still deeply embedded in Kentucky. Theirs is a fascinating look into the myths and realities of life, then and now, in a commonwealth where the conflict truly was the Brothers' War. -- James C. Klotter, The State Historian of Kentucky About the Author Cameron M. Ludwick is a bookworm, trivia nerd, and former band geek who still relies on the survival skills she learned at Girl Scout camp to cope with nature. A Kentucky native, she now has bigger hair and lives in Austin, Texas. Blair Thomas Hess is a born-and-bred Kentuckian who once won a sack-the-pig contest at the Trigg County Country Ham Festival. She resides in Frankfort, Kentucky, with her daughter and her picture-taking, bourbon-collecting husband. Together, these long-time friends travel across the Commonwealth of Kentucky, exploring its various wonders and uncovering its best-kept secrets. They share these secrets in the My Old Kentucky Road Trip books, which include The State of Bourbon and Famous Kentucky Flavors.
