Abstract
Editor's note: Robert M. Rennick, 588 North Lake Drive, Prestonsburg, KY 41653, has long been involved in the study of placenames and has published several books on names in Kentucky, the latest of which, Place Names of Pike County, Kentucky, is reviewed by Rowan Daggett in this issue of Names. The following statement is adapted from the introduction to that book. Although the following was written prior to the appearance in these pages of an article by Jon C. Campbell (Stream Generic Terms as Indicators of Historical Settlement Patterns, Names 39.4 [December 1991]: 333-66), Mr. Rennick wanted it to be seen at least in part as a response to that article. We Mr. Rennick and I would like to hear from other placename scholars on how official placenames, especially generics, conflict with the names actually in use.
