Wisconsin

This is a 20th century guidebook; a team effort sponsored by the Work Projects Administration in the 1930s. It contains a description of the state as well as numerous brief histories of towns and locales. This description is from the book’s Preface: “The book is divided into three parts. The first of these is a series of essays, most of them historical in nature, intended to paint in large strokes the State’s development and to furnish a background against which the detailed information that follows may become more intelligible. The second section describes the State’s nine largest cities. Here the histories of the cities are briefly sketched and their points of interest described for the traveller who wishes to look about him. The third section is a series of selected tours covering the main highways.”
