Uncle Will of Wildwood is a warm and humorous memoir of the nineteenthcentury Bluegrass that recalls a defining period of Kentucky's past. It was a time of selfsufficient country estates when, as Thomas D. Clark writes in his introduction, 'every Bluegrass farm gate was the entryway into a ruggedly independent domain.' Wildwood was such a place, ruled by the affable Uncle Will of this classic book.Everything at Wildwood revolved around Will Goddard, who was 'a cross between a hurricane and an electric fan.' Uncle Willwith his mad dashes into Harrodsburg for mowingmachine parts, his habit of leaving his stallion Black Joe unhitched, his irrepressible spirit, and his uncanny perception of the potential of a horsebecame a family and community legend.A celebration of Kentucky before the arrival of the modern age, Uncle Will of Wildwood fondly remembers life before the automobile, before radio and television, and before growing cities eroded the quiet and grand way of country life. Though Uncle Will's story is nearly two hundred years old, his lessons of selfsufficiency, community, and eccentricity are still pertinent today. In print for the first time since 1974, Uncle Will of Wildwood captures the riotous spirit of one Kentucky man and the flavor of country life.
