This is an incomplete bibliography. Books are listed in no particular order, except that at the end of the list, I have included two books on Warren County history and biography. (Henderson County was formed from Warren County in 1841; I thought they might be helpful.)If you know of other books available, please email me with the titles and publishing information. I have included authors and publishing information IF I could find that information, and sometimes I couldn't. If you know the answers to any missing information, I would be grateful if you would let me know so that I could make corrections. Thanks!
