Out of the Blue
Author Forrest Calico was born into humble circumstances in 1940s rural Kentucky. In Out of the Blue: How Open Doors and Unexpected Paths Set the Course of My Life, Calico tells how, despite those challenges, he has amassed an impressive record of personal and professional achievements. He recounts the inspiring story of his rise from childhood poverty through surprising affirmation in medical school, followed by a succession of accomplishments, including serving as a US Air Force flight surgeon at Area 51, the secret US military site in Nevada; as director of a groundbreaking medical residency program; as president of a three-state hospital system; and as chairman of a local school board. His stories offer lessons of openness to unexpected, out-of-the-blue experiences; recognition of support from others; and providential intervention—lessons that are applicable to all who endeavor to develop their own optimal life trajectories. Out of the Blue—told with honesty and self-deprecating humor—demonstrates how one man used the unexpected to have a fulfilling, successful, and meaningful life.

Beyond the Hills That Beckon
Various folk who enjoyed reading The Hills That Beckon questioned the author, When are you going to write a sequel? After much consideration Mr. Long decided to comply with their requests. His first narrative was confined to the Poosey Ridge area of Madison County, Kentucky.The sequel goes beyond the borders written about in the first book and includes other areas hence, the title Beyond The Hills That Beckon. This writing differs by focusing on other families and events in the region rather than only the authors family. The reader will be reintroduced to the Poosey Ridge location from a perspective not addressed in The Hills That Beckon.
Garrard County
Nestled in the bluegrass region of central Kentucky, Garrard County traces its pioneer beginnings to the mid-1770s. Officially founded in 1797, the county remains predominantly rural to this day; its citizens are patriotic, service-oriented, and proud of their communities and ancestors. In this volume, county resident Rita Mackin Fox has gathered more than 200 photographs, focusing primarily on everyday people going about their lives--on the farm, in towns, and at school, work, worship, and play. Each image will bring back memories or provide a glimpse of what life was like for earlier residents. Fox also pays tribute to some notable people and events, including Kentucky Mountain Boy Bradley Kincaid, Carrie A. Nation, possible Uncle Tom's Cabin connections, and a visit by a former king of England. This volume also contains images that show the formation of Herrington Lake, now a major recreation and tourism area.
