Read MoreBy Jacob Cordas — Kentucky has a unique position in the imagination of America. It was the original frontier, the first manifest destiny. It became a haven for mining only to become the home of some of the most violent labor wars in the country. Now, it’s shambling on from that legacy as the hills have run dry and nothing has come along to save them.

Well, let’s get on with the show here and see how this all goes shall we?
