He also discusses his experiences in politics, with particular emphasis on the gubenatorial election of 1967, which Ward lost to Republican Louie Nunn.

Combs, Bert T., 1911-1991. Bert T. Combs Collection, 1959-1990.

Title: Bert T. Combs Collection, 1959-1990.

This collection consists of over 130 boxes of papers, photographs, and audio-visual recordings. It primarily documents Combs' term as Governor of Kentucky from 1959-1963, but also covers, to a lesser extent, his other political activities as well. A detailed guide listing folder titles, with introductory descriptions to each series, has been produced. Files are arranged either chronologically or aphabetically, according to the system established by Combs' staff. The Oral History Program also houses interviews that were conducted with Combs on subjects such as his role in the lawsuit that led to the Kentucky Education Reform Act of 1990, and the political careers of such notable Kentuckians as John Sherman Cooper, Edward F. Prichard, and A.B. "Happy" Chandler.
