Edited by John E. Kleber, this 1,800-entry reference is the definitive one-volume guide to Louisville, from the Kentucky Derby and the Louisville Slugger bat to the city’s founding by George Rogers Clark in 1778.
Named one of Library Journal’s best reference books of the year it was published, it traces the local origins of the cheeseburger and the “Happy Birthday” song alongside the stories of native figures like Muhammad Ali and Zachary Taylor.
