Dr. Irwin's newest book is a
comprehensive look at one of the older towns in Vernon County, which
pre-dates the Civil War. This book, which took over 5 years to
research, includes information on schools, churches, coal mines, people, and
businesses which all added up to the successes of the town. Read
forgotten stories such as the "Whiskey Wars" and the Murder of Ella Wray, granddaughter of Noah Caton. The town fires and
post office robberies are included. Additionally, there are records
from the Moundville Lutheran and Methodist Churches, Cooper College, and the
pioneer Moundville Cemetery. Indexed with over 890
surnames! The book is thoroughly researched and documented
with footnotes. Illustrations by Barbara Jean Marlow Irwin. This
250-page softbound book measures 8.5x11.
