McCutchen Meadows: A Family Story

Over the course of 180 years the descendants of John McCutchen transformed a log house on a Kentucky land grant in Logan County into a beloved and handsome homeplace. McCutchen Meadows: A Family Story recounts how six generations cultivated ultimately more than 620 acres near Auburn, Kentucky. Written by John McCutchen's fifth great-grandson William G. Coke, McCutchen Meadows begins with Ulster immigrants arriving in Pennsylvania in 1728. It ends when the author spends one final night alone before the sale of his old family home. Through stories, deeds, wills, documents, and photographs, Coke weaves a compelling, close-up version of American life over nearly two centuries.
