Product Information

The colorful history and culture of Wisconsin are reflected in its place names, from those created by Native Americans, French explorers, and diverse European settlers to more recent appellations commemorating political figures, postmasters, and landowners. Organized alphabetically for easy reference, Edward Callary s concise entries reveal the stories behind such intriguing names as Fussville, Misha Mokwa, Couderay, and Thiry Daems. Fun to read and packed with information, Place Names of Wisconsin is a must-have for anyone interested in Wisconsin and Midwest history, language, geography, and culture or anyone who simply wonders why did they name it that?

Reviews
"This excellent book will inform newcomers to the valley about the history of their new home, and it will give all readers a better understanding of how successive waves of people have interacted with and altered the natural landscapes of the area."-Robert Gough, author of Farming the Cutover: A Social History of Northern Wisconsin, 19001940, "This volume presents a thorough, carefully researched and well-written history of the St. Croix River. It should be required reading for anyone charged with managing the St. Croix and its valley in the twenty-first century."-- Environmental History, "This excellent book will inform newcomers to the valley about the history of their new home, and it will give all readers a better understanding of how successive waves of people have interacted with and altered the natural landscapes of the area."-Robert Gough, author ofFarming the Cutover: A Social History of Northern Wisconsin, 19001940, "[T]he authors take a refreshingly realistic stand on the significance of their subject. That said, they convincingly claim that 'the St. Croix Valley encapsulates the history of the Upper Midwest.' This makes the book useful not only for interested readers and local historians but also for anyone anxious to understand the broader dynamics that shaped the region's past."--Michael J.
