Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Wisconsin Supper Clubs Story: An Illustrated History, with Relish, the third in his popular series, Ron Faiola invites readers to pull up a chair as he regales us with more than a century of history behind this beloved dining tradition, guiding readers from London to Hollywood, to New York City, and finally, to his own home state. The journey begins with the world’s very first supper clubs, which emerged in London in the mid-1800s. The phenomenon was adopted by New York’s restaurant and saloon owners in the late 1800s, and soon spread to suburban and rural areas. Across the United States, supper clubs enhanced culinary and dining traditions, and greatly influenced the evolution of live entertainment such as cabaret, comedy, and jazz, and dance crazes such as “The Charleston,” “Turkey Trot,” and the eyebrow-raising “Wiggle Wiggle.” Faiola unfolds the history of Wisconsin’s supper clubs with stories of its most iconic establishments, such as Ray Radigan’s, Hoffman House, and Fazio’s on Fifth. He reveals the remarkable durability of the supper club tradition as it withstood WWI, the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, Prohibition, the Great Depression, WWII, as well as the mid-twentieth century advent of fast food franchises and casual dining chains. Through their innovation and determination, supper club owners and their staff have managed not only to survive, but to maintain generations-spanning restaurants that remain prominent features of their communities to this day. Bursting with full-color photographs, newspaper clippings, and first-hand interviews, The Wisconsin Supper Clubs Story: An Illustrated History, with Relish offers a hearty buffet of the history of Wisconsin’s most iconic supper clubs and the folks who keep the cocktails poured, the relish trays fresh, and ensure there’s always an open seat at the table.

Download or read book Baraboo written by Don Atkinson and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baraboo provides a selected history of the city of Baraboo, Wisconsin, and the surrounding region. The book focuses on six features of the Baraboo area that make it distinctive from other towns, and that help explain how a Midwestern city of modest size has had such a major impact on the rest of the state, nation, and world. The six features of the region that the book highlights are: 1) the Baraboo Bluffs; 2) the Ho-Chunk Nation; 3) the Ringling brothers; 4) the Badger Army Ammunition Plant, 5) the Great Wisconsin Manhunt of 1961; and 6) the International Crane Foundation. The Baraboo Bluffs have been designated a National Natural Landmark by the U.S. Department of the Interior and a "Last Great Place" by the Nature Conservancy. Part 1 reviews the geological history of the Bluffs and describes the biological attributes that make them unique. The author speculates that the Bluffs may have helped inspire Aldo Leopold to write his environmental manifesto, A Sand County Almanac, in a converted chicken coup near Baraboo. The impact of farming, logging, and development on the Bluffs is examined, and concerns about this "Last Great Place" are raised. The history of human habitation in the Baraboo area is provided in the section on the Ho-Chunk Nation. The author presents evidence that the Ho-Chunk are descendants of the mysterious effigy mound builders, the ancient people responsible for the effigy mounds found only in Wisconsin and along the adjacent edges of boarding states. A biography of Joann Jones, first president (and to date the only female president) of the Ho-Chunk nation is presented. The impact of gaming and other social conditions on the future of the tribe is examined. Baraboo is the home of the Ringling Brothers' Circus, "The Greatest Show on Earth." In Part 2, the Ringling brothers' ancestry and childhood experiences are examined for factors that may have contributed to their rise from humble beginnings to uncontested kings of the entertainment world. The history of the Ringling Brothers' Circus is detailed, and the impact of the circus on Baraboo's economy and culture are described. Recent efforts to restore the Al. Ringling Theatre and difficulties confronting the Circus World Museum are examined. Built in a matter of months during World War II, the Badger Ordinance Works (later to be renamed the Badger Army Ammunition Plant) was at that time the world's largest powder plant. The author describes the history of Sauk Prairie, the construction of the powder plant, and the impact the BAAP has had on the region in Part 4. In particular, this section focuses on governmental efforts to ameliorate the pollution caused by the operation and decommissioning of the facility. Wisconsin's largest manhunt occurred in 1961 and was coordinated by Sauk County Sheriff, Mike Spencer. The lives of three individuals associated with the manhunt, Deputy Sheriff Jim Jantz, Sheriff Mike Spencer, and volunteer Jerry Coughlin, are examined in Part 5 of the book. The crime, manhunt, and subsequent trial are briefly reviewed, and the current status of the principle players is discussed. The biographies of three young men who founded the International Crane Foundation are presented in the final section of the book. The author traces the history of the ICF from its shaky start as a converted horse farm to its current status as a major environmental advocacy organization. The unique qualities of cranes in general, and Whooping Cranes in particular, are discussed. Current efforts to restore endangered Whooping Cranes to North America are described. Although the book focuses on six features that make Baraboo unique, it also describes conditions that confront all towns and small cities across the country that are experiencing rapid development. The reader is left to ponder how the unique social and cultural heritage of a community can be maintained as the forces of change converge on it.

This book was released on 2023-09-12 with total page 867 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1960s the masters of crime fiction expanded the genre’s literary and psychological possibilities with audacious new themes, forms, and subject matter—here are five of their finest works This is the first of two volumes gathering the best American crime fiction of the 1960s, nine novels of astonishing variety and inventiveness that pulse with the energies of that turbulent, transformative decade. In The Murderers (1961) by Fredric Brown, an out-of-work actor, hanging out with Beat drifters on the fringes of Hollywood, concocts a murder scheme that devolves into nightmare. This late work by a master in many genres is one of his darkest and most ingenious. Dan J. Marlowe’s The Name of the Game Is Death (1962) channels the inner life of a violent criminal who freely acknowledges the truth of a prison psychiatrist’s diagnosis: “Your values are not civilized values.” Written with unnerving emotional authenticity, the story hurtles toward an annihilating climax. Charles Williams drew on his experience in the merchant marine for his thriller Dead Calm (1963). A newlywed couple alone on a small yacht find themselves at the mercy of the mysterious survivor they have rescued from a sinking ship, in a suspenseful story that chillingly evokes the perils of the open ocean. In the beautifully told and sharply observant The Expendable Man (1963), Dorothy B. Hughes’s final masterpiece of suspense, a young man in the American Southwest runs afoul of racial assumptions after he picks up a hitchhiker who soon turns up dead. In twenty-four brilliantly constructed novels, Richard Stark (a pen name of Donald Westlake) charted the career of Parker, a hard-nosed professional thief, with rigorous clarity. The Score (1964), a stand-out in the series, finds Parker and his criminal associates hatching a plot to rob simultaneously all the jewelry stores, payroll offices, and banks in a remote Western mining town, only to come up against the human limits of even the most intricate planning. Volume features include an introduction by editor Geoffrey O'Brien (Hardboiled America), newly researched biographies of the writers and helpful notes, and an essay on textual selection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nobody knows better than Matthew Scudder how far down a person can sink in this city. A young prostitute named Kim knew it also—and she wanted out. Maybe Kim didn't deserve the life fate had dealt her. She surely didn't deserve her death. The alcoholic ex-cop turned p.i. was supposed to protect her, but someone slashed her to ribbons on a crumbling New York City waterfront pier. Now finding Kim's killer will be Scudder's penance. But there are lethal secrets hiding in the slain hooker's past that are far dirtier than her trade. And there are many ways of dying in this cruel and dangerous town—some quick and brutal ... and some agonizingly slow.

Download or read book Hollywood TV written by Christopher Anderson and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1950s was one of the most turbulent periods in the history of motion pictures and television. During the decade, as Hollywood's most powerful studios and independent producers shifted into TV production, TV replaced film as America's principal postwar culture industry. This pioneering study offers the first thorough exploration of the movie industry's shaping role in the development of television and its narrative forms. Drawing on the archives of Warner Bros. and David O. Selznick Productions and on interviews with participants in both industries, Christopher Anderson demonstrates how the episodic telefilm series, a clear descendant of the feature film, became and has remained the dominant narrative form in prime-time TV. This research suggests that the postwar motion picture industry was less an empire on the verge of ruin—as common wisdom has it—than one struggling under unsettling conditions to redefine its frontiers. Beyond the obvious contribution to film and television studies, these findings add an important chapter to the study of American popular culture of the postwar period.
