This is the story of Fontaine Banks, Jr. who came out of the mountains of eastern Kentucky, the son of a coal miner, to become a Kentucky political legend.  His colorful recollections span five decades of Kentucky political life--beginning with his service as chief of staff for two governors, Governor Bert Combs and Governor Edward T. "Ned" Breathitt--and continuing through the inauguration of Governor Steve Beshear. This chronicle is an outstanding read for anyone fascinated with Kentucky political history and the enchantment of behind-the-scenes anecdotes.
