Montell collected stories from all areas of the state to represent the diversity of social and economic backgrounds in the various communities the officers serve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eTales from Kentucky Sheriffs\u003c\/i\u003e covers elections, criminal behavior, and sheriff's mistakes in a lighthearted and often humorous manner. The book includes accounts of a drunk driver who thought he was in a different state, a sheriff running a sting operation with the U.S. Marshals, and a woman reporting a tomato thief in her garden. Other accounts involve procedural errors with serious consequences, such as the tale of a sheriff who mistakenly informs a man that his son has committed suicide. Together, these firsthand narratives preserve important aspects of Kentucky's history not likely to be recorded elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Lynwood Montell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813134048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813134048\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Kentucky\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.20d","brand":"William Lynwood Montell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48065172635903,"sku":"9780813134048","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8bacbea9-bae6-4d68-9586-c4b6c40c5208.jpg?v=1768673470","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tales-from-kentucky-sheriffs-william-lynwood-montell-9780813134048","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
