Who's the most famous citizen Boone County has ever produced?  Well, actually, today it's probably Steve Cauthen, or maybe Shaun Alexander.  But fifty years ago, and for many folks today, there is absolutely no question.  It was John Uri Lloyd.

Lloyd was one of America's leading scientists of his day, and, with his two brothers,  turned his science into a lucrative company.  He was a  leading pharmacist in the days when the profession was transforming  from quackery to science. He was also a famous novelist.  Go to your favorite search engine, type in his name, and you will find, literally, over 500 sites.  Or, you can visit the Lloyd Library in Cincinnati.  They're here.

  Many of  Lloyd's books  contained line drawings but Warwick of the Knobs and Stringtown on the Pike both contained photographs, generally of Florence, Kentucky, taken by his wife, Emma. You can see those photos by clicking here.
