The history of Madison County speaks loudly most of the time, but there have been other times when the past has been spoken in whispers. There have been murders, arsons, and maybe even a purported haunting or two. There have been movie stars, authors, and athletes, who wrote and rode gloriously on the pages of the past but whose flames burned out and they are only remembered in books like this. There have been war heroes who brightly shone and whose memories remain with us still, but yet there were those who died fighting for a lost cause they believed in at Gettysburg who have been forgotten. In this book, learn about the people who made Madison County the place it is. Learn about a doctor, who was a genius, but who some may consider mad; read about the bad blood between two brothers-in-law that ended in the death of one; read about the last legal public hanging in the county; learn about the murder of a minstrel in the merry month of May. While these are whispers, there are also some shouts in the book, including a story about war hero Dale Leslie and stories about some of the legendary lawmen in the county.
