Our Toby Gibbs has details on that and much more as we review this week and Kentucky history.
Abraham Lincoln's parents, Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, married on June 12, 1806, in Beachwood in Washington County.
Lincoln was born about two and a half years later.
Lewis Haslett, a native of Louisville, received a patent for the gas mask on June 12th, 1849.
It was also called the inhaler or the lung Protector.
General John Hunt Morgan led a Confederate attack on Cynthia Anna on June 11th, 1864.
His men set the town on fire, burning down about half the buildings.
Lexington opened a public library on Second Street on June 13th, 1905, with money donated by millionaire and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie.
Kentucky University changed its name to Transylvania University on June 12, 1908.
Racehorse Sir Barton won the Belmont Stakes on June 11th, 1919, after winning the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness that made him the first Triple Crown winner.
Although that term wasn't in use at the time, the famed Hatfield McCoy feud officially ended on June 14, 23, when the two families signed a truce on the CBS Morning show.
But actual fighting had ended decades earlier.
And that's a look at this week in Kentucky history.
I'm Toby Gibbs.
