Many people confuse Kentucky State University for University of Kentucky. They are two different universities. The mascot for KSU is the Thoroughbred. The mascot for UK is the Wildcat.

It is what is commonly called a Bobcat. The Ky Wildcat is similar to the European Wildcat but somewhat stronger. It is of the Lynx family. They are a very shy animal and rarely seen in the wild. I have only seen 4 or 5 in my 50 years of hunting.

The nickname "Wildcats" became synonymous with UK shortly after a 6-2 football road victory over Illinois on October 9, 1909. Commandant Philip W. Corbusier, then head of the military department at old State University, told a group of students in a chapel service following the game that the Kentucky football team had "fought like Wildcats." Later the name Wildcats became more and more popular among UK followers as well as with members of the media. As a result, the nickname was adopted by the University.

The Hatfield-McCoy blood feud is often dated 1863 to 1891 (exact dates depend on your definition of "feud", and may vary a little). There are various theories about exactly why it started. Perhaps nobody will ever know _for_sure_ (unless somebody has a time machine:-). Possibilities include:

1. The feud started when RandolphMcCoy and Anderson Hatfield fought side by side in the civil war. The initial reason they disagreed is because Anderson deserted his whole army company, including Randolph (perhaps because he'd had enough of soldiering, perhaps because he figured the South was a "lost cause" and saw no sense in dying for it, perhaps because it was too much for him to handle). Randolph was later captured and imprisoned, ahd had a very hard time. After McCoy got home to the mountains (possibly a "broken man" or possibly even a partially crazy one because of his prison experiences), Hatfield had tried to resume the friendship, but McCoy treated Hatfield disagreeably and even angrily. This in turn soon made Hatfield angry, thus starting the feud.

At least that's what was shown in the miniseries drama/documentary "Hatfields & McCoys" on the History Channel in 2012. Although plausible and good drama, there's little independent evidence this is _exactly_ what happened.

2. The feud was really more about economics than about family/clan loyalty. As timber and later coal interests came to the region, the economy changed dramatically. Randall McCoy's attempt to go into the timber business failed badly. Devil Anse Hatfield on the other hand became comfortably "wealthy".

3. Many people in the feud suffered from hereditary undiagnosed tumors on their adrenal glands. The tumors caused significant mood swings, leading to rash behavior, which both started and perpetuated the feud.

4. There was apparently some lingering Civil War partisanship, perhaps even a significant amount. Most people in the area -both most McCoys and most Hatfields- fought on the side of the South ...but not everybody. Tensions between families and even within families remained high. Also, Devil Anse Hatfield was the leader of a shadowy rather violent organization called the "Logan's Wildcats" that continued to support "Southern" causes long after the Civil War ended. It seems to have been involved in the feud in a significant way.

5. Most backcountry people were somewhat excluded from and quite suspicious of all government power. It was pretty easy for someone to conclude the "other side" got what it did only because the other State Government (West Virginia vs. Kentucky) had taken sides unfairly.

6. The initial deaths may have just been a string of very unfortunately timed "accidents" (i.e. "bad luck"). The resulting ongoing tit-for-tat responses became a "feud". (To restate this in rather more blunt words: it's possible there really wasn't _any_ fundamental reason behind the feud.)

There is no truth to the story that Abraham Lincoln's mother was pregnant by another man story, which first self-published in 1899 in North Carolina by a man named James Cathey. The book, ‘Truth is Stranger than Fiction: or, The True Genesis of a Wonderful Man [Abraham Lincoln] has gone by variations of that title in some reprints over the decades, too. What is odd is that even as early as the 1890s, when the Lost Cause myth was still strong in the South, some people wanted to claim Lincoln as a native son of North Carolina, disparaging mainly his Virginia-born mother. Separately, the putative father, one Abraham Enloe, 14 years old when the future president was born in 1809, later stated clearly that he was not the father of Abraham Lincoln. Possibly all the nonsense arises from a N. Carolina soldier of the Confederacy, named Abraham Lincoln, who was we think something like a 3rd or 4th cousin to the 16th president; and got his name in the papers during the war as being strongly Confederate. I know nothing more on details of that soldier’s ancestry.Thomas and Nancy Lincoln were married in June 1806 in Kentucky – the deed exists – and their daughter Sarah was born about 11 months later. Many people in and around the towns of Washington, KY, and Hodgenville, KY, attested to the Lincoln family’s presence there. (An unrelated Thomas Lincoln lived eastwards, in Fayette Co., KY, in the 1810s-1820s, but our Thomas had removed to Indiana in fall 1816). See Wilson and Davis, eds., “Herndon’s Informants: Letters, Interviews, and Statements about Abraham Lincoln” (Univ. of Illinois Press, 1988), a massive, fine piece of detective and transcription work.
We understand that a newish museum about the old Enloe myth is now in Bostic, NC. We wish them well, but mainly we urge people everywhere to read Lincoln’s writings themselves – those are what is important for us all.

No. There are several bourbon distilleries outside Kentucky - including two in central Texas, Garrison Brothers and Ranger Creek. This being said, no product made outside the U.S. can legally be called "bourbon".

Burglary is unlawfully entering a building with intent to commit a crime. The crime to be committed does not necessarily have to be a theft, nor does the crime actually have to be completed. If the building entered is not a dwelling then the charge is Burglary - 3rd Degree, which is a Class D Felony carrying 1 to 5 years. If the building is a home or dwelling then the charge is Burglary - 2nd Degree, which is a Class C Felony carrying 5 to 10 years. If there is a weapon involved, or if someone is injured (other than the perpetrator(s) of the offense, or if someone is threatened with a dangerous instrument, the the charge is Burglary - 1st Degree, which is a Class B Felony carrying 10 to 20 years.

If the owners or occupants of the property, and/or the commonwealth, can press charges against you. If the victim drops the charges, the commonwealth may still proceed with the case.

If you are a juvenile, you may be committed to the Department of Juvenile Justice and may be placed in juvenile detention or in a detention alternative placement, depending on the severity of the offense and the determination of the Department of Juvenile Justice.

The average farm size in Kentucky is about 164 acres, but farms can be much smaller or much larger, depending on what the farmer wishes to use the land for. A 20 acre farm may run a few cattle; a 10 acres farm may raise goats or chickens or what have you. Farmland covers 54% of the total acreage in Kentucky, and the state is the fifth largest farming state in the nation.

Practically speaking, Kentucky never fought for the Confederacy on the side of the Civil War. Apparently an assembly of the citizens did pass an ordinance of secession, but it never came to anything.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- The confederate flag, however, recognizes Kentucky as a Confederate state by granting it one of the thirteen stars on the battle flag of the confederacy.
