The surname of the father and son historians who produced two-volume Kentucky sketches, first published in 1847 and revised in 1874, is what?

• A. Adams
• B. King
• C. Fletcher
• D. Collins

Answer: (D)

The question hinges on recognizing a 19th‑century pair of family historians who produced a two-volume set of Kentucky sketches, first in 1847 and later revised in 1874. That lineage is associated with the surname Collins, reflecting a father-and-son team whose Kentucky histories were published in those exact years and later revised. The other surnames listed don’t have the same well-documented father-and-son Kentucky sketches duo tying to those publication dates, so Collins is the best match for this specific work.
