Kentucky Place NamesUniversity Press of Kentucky, 1984 - 375 頁 From the wealth of names in Kentucky Rennick has selected those of some 2,000 communities and post offices. These places are usually the largest, the best known, or the most important as well as those with unusual or inherently interesting names. Including perhaps one-fourth of all such places known in the state, the names were chosen as a representative sample among Kentucky's counties and sections. |
