Abstract
This short piece discusses one of the finest early legal books in Kentucky, Hughes Reports. The pioneer state's first reports were edited and published by James Hughes, one of the commonwealth's leading appellate lawyers. Dealing exclusively with decisions involving land disputes, the volume is known for both the high quality of Hughes' reporting, but also the dozens of excellent engraved maps that illustrate the cases.
