John Bradford (printer)

John Bradford (1749–1830) was an early American settler in Kentucky, where he established himself as one of the territory's leading printers.

[1] In August 1828, Bradford began a series of 66 newspaper articles that chronicled the history of Kentucky.

The second topic was the effort to secure free use of the Mississippi River and port at New Orleans from Spain.

Third, Bradford chronicled the series of ten conventions that led to Kentucky's separation from Virginia and admittance into the union in 1792.

The articles concerning events at Transylvania University constitute the fourth topic.
