The State of Boone is the storybook companion to the author's Boone County, Images of America. Published in 2016, the two were written in celebration of Indiana's bicentennial year. The State of Boone is loaded with the stories, legends, and people who are teetering on the brink of being forgotten. Included are old tales (and the truth or hoax behind them). Also inside are lists of interest to genealogists--old schools, known cemeteries and burials, Confederate sympathizers, Horse Thief Detectives, Boone Extension Homemakers and Mrs Boone County Queens. Every page holds potential surprises for the reader.
