Old Mulkey: A Pioneer Plea for the Ancient Order is a book that chronicles the history of the early Mill Creek Church of Monroe County, Kentucky and its struggle to return to the New Testament concept of the church. It features the life and influences of its preacher, John Mulkey, and the contribution he made to the Christian Restoration Movement in southern Kentucky in the early 1800s. The book also included the reproduced minutes of the old Mill Creek Church from its beginning in 1798, and continues until it split in 1809. The book is also filled with the history of a number of churches that existed in the early 1800s in southern Kentucky. This is a paperback book with 266 pages and is written and compiled by Loy R. Milam. The title first appeared in print in 1996 and quickly sold out.
