- "Presidents have been visiting Kentucky since 1819 arriving by horseback, carriage, train, steamboat, bus, and airplane. They have inspected military installations, dedicated historic sites and infrastructure, campaigned for themselves and others, promoted administration initiatives, attended horse races and funerals, performed various other functions, and often just passed through. Considering the pwoer of the president, each visit is meaningful and historic. Presidential Visits to Kentucky: 1819-2017 details more than 120 occasions when the President of the United States came to the Commonwealth. It chronicles when the president came, why, where he went and who he saw as he made history."--Page 4 of cover
