The Kentucky Colonels Handbook: 1930 Historical Edition

by Sequoia Book Publishers

Historical Edition

The commission of Kentucky Colonel is the Commonwealth's highest honor — an honorary title carrying no military duty, given for service, and held over the years by an unlikely assortment of governors, generals, entertainers, and ordinary citizens. This handbook, from 1930, records the order as it understood itself at the time: its purpose, its customs, its membership, and the civic spirit it was meant to embody. Restored and presented as a historical document, this Sequoia edition preserves the original text for readers interested in Kentucky history, fraternal and honorary orders, and the traditions of the American South between the wars.
