Welcome to the forum.

Have you checked with your local library?

Plus, you being on the internet, you can use the search engines if you had the specific title of the book & books that you are searching for and by what author.

You may find a link that may give a pdf of what you are searching for.

Thank you!

I actually have. I have discovered a few libraries do contain these books, but they are unwilling to lend them.

I'm also looking into the history of the Barren River Association of Kentucky. I have acquired A History of Kentucky Baptists by J.H. Spencer, but I've yet to read into it as I'm still working on other works.

Probably of the risk of losing them to those that hate Christianity or the Baptist church for whatever the reason.

I am sure you can access them and read them in the library, right? They just do not want it leaving the library?

Well, may God bless you in your endeavors.

Try Amazon.com.

I've tried Amazon, ebay, Facebook, WorldCat, Google, and Archive with no avail unfortunately.

There’s a digital copy or borrow a copy on WorldCat [link]

You will need to set up an account there.

So in such a case you will need to plan a vacation around visiting a library that has the book.
Bring a fully charged cell phone and take pictures.

Every time my wife plans a vacation, I quickly search out local bookstores and libraries.
She know that I’ll spend a day browsing and she spends the day shopping.

I moved not too long ago and recently visited my new favorite book place:
Baldwin’s Book Barn in West Chester, Pennsylvania
Four stories of used books!

Thank you so much! It's stating it's unable to process my request at this time and try again later. So, I certainly will. I didn't realize you could obtain the book by creating an account.

Wow, that sounds like an incredible place, sir...

I live a very rural area. My resources are very limited besides the internet.

What!?!? I'm getting all excited just thinking about that!
