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.

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.
Bob Scott
