Clinton County Bibliography 

I would love for this bibliography to be as complete as possible for Clinton County. If you have any information on books or articles about Clinton County, please let me know so I can list of the information here.  Send me  the name of the book, the name of the author, the year it was published, the city and state where it was published and the publisher's name.

I want to add sections for each town and/or township in the county. Many of these we have information online for.
