New Book On Madison County History Has Something For Everyone

MADISON COUNTY - There's something for almost everyone in a fast-moving new book on Madison County history that is loaded with facts and anecdotes.

Writer Tom Emery of Carlinville is releasing The Madison County History Reader, a collection of over sixty of his articles on a wide array of subjects relating to the history, people, and places of Madison County.

The reader is different than any other book on county history, and looks at many fascinating aspects of the past in this area. Many leading towns in the county are covered in some fashion in the book, which is 170 pages long and fully illustrated.

Topics include the origins of the county, pioneer experiences in Madison’s earliest days, as well as the Civil War era and some of the remarkable women the county has produced.
