Book Synopsis Buried Indians by : Laurie Hovell McMillin
Download or read book Buried Indians written by Laurie Hovell McMillin and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In "Buried Indians, Laurie Hovell McMillin presents the struggle of her hometown, Trempealeau, Wisconsin, to determine whether platform mounds atop Trempealeau Mountain constitute authentic Indian mounds. This dispute, as McMillin subtly demonstrates, reveals much about the attitude and interaction-past and present-between the white and Indian inhabitants of this Midwestern town. McMillin's account, rich in detail and sensitive to current political issues of American Indian interactions with the dominant European American culture, locates two opposing views: one that denies a Native American presence outright and one that asserts its long history and ruthless destruction. The highly reflective oral histories McMillin includes turn "Buried Indians into an accessible, readable portrait of a uniquely American culture clash and a dramatic narrative grounded in people's genuine perceptions of what the platform mounds mean.

Download or read book Population: 485 written by Michael Perry and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2009-10-13 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Part portrait of a place, part rescue manual, part rumination of life and death, Population: 485 is a beautiful meditation on the things that matter.” — Seattle Times Welcome to New Auburn, Wisconsin (population: 485) where the local vigilante is a farmer’s wife armed with a pistol and a Bible, the most senior member of the volunteer fire department is a cross-eyed butcher with one kidney and two ex-wives (both of whom work at the only gas station in town), and the back roads are haunted by the ghosts of children and farmers. Michael Perry loves this place. He grew up here, and now—after a decade away—he has returned. Unable to polka or repair his own pickup, his farm-boy hands gone soft after years of writing, Perry figures the best way to regain his credibility is to join the volunteer fire department. Against a backdrop of fires and tangled wrecks, bar fights and smelt feeds, Population: 485 is a comic and sometimes heartbreaking true tale leavened with quieter meditations on an overlooked America.

Book Synopsis A Small Town Goes to War by : Michael Lyga
Download or read book A Small Town Goes to War written by Michael Lyga and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2013-02-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As did all communities in America, Independence, Wisconsin, contributed heavily toward the effort of defeating the Axis during World War II. Independence is a small rural community in the west-central part of the state, and most of its young men and women had never traveled far from home before finding themselves on trains heading to basic training. They then found themselves stationed throughout the world, fighting for an ideal that some probably didn't even understand fully. Some of them did not return. Over several years in the 1990's, the author, whose father himself was an artillery officer in the Pacific Theater, interviewed and corresponded with many veterans and their families, obtaining oral histories, written histories, and other documents. He also reviewed the local newspaper, the Independence News-Wave, whose publisher, Glenn Kirkpatrick, did a magnificent job of keeping people in the "trade area" as informed as possible of the whereabouts of its young service men and women. Through 22 oral histories, 82 additional thorough biographies, and more than 175 shorter "glimpses," "A Small Town Goes To War" is the author's attempt at preserving the history of his hometown's participation in World War II. The book contains many photos and letters in their entirety. Among the stories are those of a Merrill's Marauder, a Nuremberg assistant prosecutor, POW's, a physical trainer of the Navy's first black officers, and Trempealeau County's highest decorated veteran (Distinguished Service Cross and two Silver Stars), all of whom hailed from Independence. Also included is a most bizarre story involving a member of the 1st Cavalry Division that happened thirty years after his participation in the Battle for Manila.
Book Synopsis Hope is the Thing by : B. J. Hollars
Download or read book Hope is the Thing written by B. J. Hollars and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2021-09-14 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In March 2020, as a pandemic began to ravage our world, writer and professor B. J. Hollars started a collaborative writing project to bridge the emotional challenges created by our physical distancing. Drawing upon Emily Dickinson’s famous poem “‘Hope’ is the thing with feathers,” Hollars called on Wisconsinites to reflect on their own glimpses of hope in the era of COVID-19. The call resulted in an avalanche of submissions, each reflecting on hope’s ability to persist and flourish, even in the darkest times. As the one hundred essays and poems gathered here demonstrate, hope comes in many forms: a dad dance, a birth plan, an unblemished banana, a visit from a neighborhood dog, the revival of an old tradition, empathy. The contributors are racially, geographically, and culturally diverse, representing a rough cross section of Wisconsin voices, from truck driver to poet laureate, from middle school student to octogenarian, from small business owner to seasoned writer. The result is a book-length exploration of the depth and range of hope experienced in times of crisis, as well as an important record of what Wisconsinites were facing and feeling through these historic times.
Book Synopsis Hometown Inequality by : Brian F. Schaffner
Download or read book Hometown Inequality written by Brian F. Schaffner and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local governments play a central role in American democracy, providing essential services such as policing, water, and sanitation. Moreover, Americans express great confidence in their municipal governments. But is this confidence warranted? Using big data and a representative sample of American communities, this book provides the first systematic examination of racial and class inequalities in local politics. We find that non-whites and less-affluent residents are consistent losers in local democracy. Residents of color and those with lower incomes receive less representation from local elected officials than do whites and the affluent. Additionally, they are much less likely than privileged community members to have their preferences reflected in local government policy. Contrary to the popular assumption that governments that are “closest” govern best, we find that inequalities in representation are most severe in suburbs and small towns. Typical reforms do not seem to improve the situation, and we recommend new approaches.

Book Synopsis The German-speaking Forty-eighters by : Charles J. Wallman
Download or read book The German-speaking Forty-eighters written by Charles J. Wallman and published by Max Kade Institute. This book was released on 1990 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in print again, this is the story of the "Forty-Eighters," political refugees who fled German-speaking countries in the aftermath of the failed revolutions of 1848. Among their numbers were Carl Schurz, later to become a U.S. senator and advisor to presidents Lincoln and Hayes, and his wife Margarethe Schurz, who founded the kindergarten movement in the United States. Many Forty-Eighters settled in and enormously influenced the growth of Watertown, Wisconsin, which was at one time the second largest city in the state. By consulting source materials in English and German, Charles Wallman has skillfully unraveled the threads that tie the Forty-Eighters and their descendents to the history of Watertown. He chronicles not only the Forty-Eighters who subsequently became prominent in the German-American community of the United States but also those who never moved again and helped make their new hometown a thriving site of cultural and intellectual activity in the nineteenth century."
