Message Board Post:
I have created a blog for posting articles about Jefferson County
History. I know
that there are many researchers with connections in Ripley
County who are also interested in Jefferson.
http://jeffersoncountyindiana.blogspot.com/
I am doing this to start getting information from my rapidly evolving
book on the
history of Jefferson County into the public. I hope to publish
by 2009. It's probably more than anybody needs to know about the county up
to roughly World War I. I am writing it because of the approaching
bicentennial of Madison and because there's never been a history of
Jefferson County written that was very good and a lot of information
circulating about the county has become disconnected from the source
material that, even when true, it's hard to tell why we know it's true.
Also, so many histories have concentrated on the great man and great houses
of Madison's Golden Age that the rest of history has been given short
shrift.
I will be digesting information, hopefully a regular basis.
Suggestions, ideas, corrections are welcome.
