<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Hamilton County's past harbors sundry strange tales, many of them lost to time--until now. In 1867, a groom disappeared just before his wedding, presumably running away on cold feet. Four decades later, his remains were discovered buried under a shed in a mystery that remains unsolved. In the 1870s, the sheriff marshaled a seven-man posse, including two local African Americans, to deal with desperados in an isolated corner of the county. Their heroic efforts swiftly liberated the local populace from the yoke of banditry. A giant wave of ravenous squirrels descended on Central Indiana in 1822 to feast on crops, to the shock and dismay of new settlers. Join County Historian David Heighway for a tour of all things odd and forgotten.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>David Heighway's lifelong passion for Hamilton County history has led him to write his first book. The Noblesville resident, who has come to be known as Hamilton County's historian and whose head is full of some of the county's most interesting history, especially enjoys learning about and sharing offbeat and little-known stories about the county. - <i>The Times 24-7</i> - Hamilton County's Daily Newspaper<br>
