From its beginning as a German-speaking frontier settlement to a vibrant modern community of the twenty-first century, Lexington has exemplified the American spirit throughout its generations. This book, made up of articles originally published in the �Lexington Yesterday� column in the Lexington Chronicle and Dispatch News, celebrates all the communities that make up the unique character of Lexington. Follow Claudette Holliday, historian and seventh-generation descendant of one of Lexington�s first families, as she tells of Emily Geiger�s patriotic ride during the American Revolution, the notorious escapades of Bloody Bill Cunningham, Lexington�s murder �trial of the century� and other true tales from the area�s rich history.
