Wisconsin Land of Change: An Illustrated History Book

This is the quintessential chronicle of Wisconsin's unique and engaging history. This is first and foremost a story of people: the Indians, explorers, and missionaries who first settled the area; the dairymen and brewers who, in the mid-nineteenth century, created Wisconsin's largest and most enduring industries; the progressive politicians who shape and guide the modern state. The lively narrative, researched and written by Shiela Reaves, associate professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, captures the spirit of Wisconsin. Enhanced by more than 450 photographs, many in striking color emphasizing Wisconsin's natural splendor, the book is sure to be a treasured addition to any library.
