Synopsis

The State of Boone is full of folklore, true events and many tangled stories made of both. Written as a storybook companion to the image-laden Boone County, Ritman shares famous and nearly forgotten tales of "things" that could only happen in Boone County, Indiana.The State of Boone from small press Knocking River is a compilation of stories, info, quips and idiosyncrasies found nowhere else but Boone County Indiana. Here you'll read about Pioneer Doctors, The Near-Lynching on Court House Square, the moral standards wars from the times of brothels and wood alcohol poisonings, the Thorntown Gorilla scare, being cured by a petrified hairball (among other things) and several Who's Who lists of Boone Queens, bygone schools, extinct towns, Extension Homemakers, Copperhead Confederates and Horse Thief Detectives. There's even a little grave robbery and a couple other creepy tales along the way. This is the smorgasbord of Boone lore
