| Summary |
"The Wisconsin Story was published by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel on the occasion of the Wisconsin Sesquicentennial in 1998. Columnist Dennis McCann was given total freedom to choose 150 topics for columns that ran in the newspaper through the year and were then published as a book. The topics cover a broad spectrum of state history, from significant figures such as Robert and Belle LaFollette, Golda Meir, Edna Ferber, W.D. Hoard, and many more, to important times such as the Black Hawk War, campus protests, the legal oleo era, and others. The strange and unusual are also represented here, including that time a cow was milked in an airplane, medical quacks convincing people that uranium would heal them, and of course the origins of Watertown's famous stuffed geese." --Provided by publisher. |
