The Traveling Church: An Account of the Baptist Exodus From Virginia to Kentucky in 1781 Under the Leadership of Rev. Lewis Craig and Captai, Paperback/Kyle McDanell

Originally published in 1891, George Washington Ranck tells the story of how a band of Separate Baptists in Virginia at the height of the Revolutionary War fled the state in favor of Kentucky in search for religious liberty after more than a decade of persecution and harassment from the state church. As a result of their exodus, some of the first churches in Kentucky were established.
