Meet the trailblazers who put the Bluegrass State on the map! Kentucky Innovators by Paul W. Bass profiles 75 remarkable Kentuckians whose ideas, talents, and grit helped shape the American way of life.
These are the pioneers and trendsetters who raised the bar in their fields. Some are household names. Others are less well known, and their stories may surprise you. All of them achieved greatness in their own way, and every one has roots in the Commonwealth.
Inside this handsome hardcover, you'll meet groundbreakers from many walks of life:
- Entertainment and the fine arts: creative talents who left their mark on stage, screen, and canvas
- Education and literature: teachers, thinkers, and writers who opened new doors
- Business and industry: entrepreneurs and builders who launched new ideas
- Science and technology: inventors and innovators who changed how we live and work
- Politics and the military: leaders who made their voices heard at home and around the world
- Athletics: sports figures who set new standards for excellence
And yes, "infamous" is in the title for a reason! A few of these colorful characters made history in less traditional ways, which makes for even livelier reading.
Whether you're a lifelong Kentuckian, a proud transplant, or a history buff who loves a good true story, this book is a fun way to celebrate the state's heritage. It also makes a thoughtful gift for graduates, teachers, book lovers, and anyone with Kentucky in their heart.

Probably one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had. Karen, the owner, helped me to pick out some things for my nephew's kindergarten class and she gave me an awesome deal. The store was well put together and had some really cool stuff. I would highly recommend this place to anybody!
