 County of the Month: Pulaski - Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives
Although the area was invaded by Confederate General John Hunt Morgan, Union troops held the county until the end of the war, even renaming the town of Point Isabel to "Burnside," in honor of the Union general.
During a time when many Kentuckians were migrating to industrial towns such as Detroit or Chicago, Arnow's storylines depicted the stark contrasts and harsh realities her characters experienced when leaving their home of Pulaski County for life amid slums and housing projects.
Nostalgic at times, the storylines were often social commentary that stated the need to prize individualism over culture, ethnicity, or stereotype.

 Wikinfo | Norman Rockwell
Rockwell is most famous for a series of covers for The Saturday Evening Post, notably those painted during the 1940s and 1950s, especially the Four Freedoms series, and Rosie the Riveter.
It was during this break that he and his son Thomas produced the his autobiography, My Adventures as an Illustrator, which was published in 1960, which the Saturday Evening Post printed excerpts from this book in eight consecutive issues, the first issue containing Norman Rockwell's famous Triple Self Portrait.
Consequently, Rockwell is not often regarded as a "serious painter" by many contemporary artists, who often regard his work as bourgeois and kitsch.
