Madison County, KY New! 53-Page Book An overview of the early days of Madison County, Kentucky, and biographies of some of the county's prominent residents from the late 1800s, are combined with a brief history of the state in this new 53-page book. The spiral-bound book includes biographies from the 1880's book, Kentucky: A History of the State by J.H. Battle, W.H. Perrin and G.C. Kniffin, excerpts from Kentucky, a Guide to the Bluegrass State, a 1939 product of the WPA Writer's Program, and information from various internet sources. This is our second book on Madison County, Kentucky. For the most part the books contain different material, although some information from the WPA book is in both. The tri-color front cover is printed on 80# card stock and has been protected with a vinyl sheet. The text is printed on 60# opaque 8.5" x 11" paper. The individual biographies often shed light on the area and the times, including the Civil War era, as well as providing specific genealogical data. Among the individual bios, is a history of Central University. The bios include: James C. Adams, Milton Barlow (picture), John Bennett (very brief), Dr. Lindsay Hughes Blanton (picture), James H. Boggs, Joseph S. Boggs, Joseph S. Bronston, Col. William H. Caperton (quite extensive; picture), Judge John C. Chenault, General Cassius M. Clay (a notable advocate of rights for black people), S.T.
