Madison Station

Madison Station is a detailed account of one area’s transformation from a bison trail to a beloved community of more than sixty-five thousand people. Benefited by historic records, maps, and drawings, Bockmon explores the rich heritage of Madison, Tennessee—a place dramatically affected by the L&N Railroad, World War I, and the policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt—retelling local stories of Fort Union, the Spring Hill Meetinghouse, Davidson Academy, and Andrew Jackson’s bride, a Madison resident.
