Synopsis
Fifty years ago, educator and writer Robert E. Gard traveled across Wisconsin in search of stories about the origins of our state's unique place names. This volume meticulously records the fruits of Gard's labors, in an alphabetical listing of places from every corner of Wisconsin, and the stories behind their often-unusual names, with a foreword by Jerry Apps., "The names of places lie upon the land and tell us where we are or where we have been or where we want to go. And so much more."--From the introduction Fifty years ago, educator and writer Robert E. Gard traveled across Wisconsin, learning the trivial, controversial, and landmark stories behind how cities, counties, and local places got their names. This volume records the fruits of Gard's labors in an alphabetical listing of places from every corner of Wisconsin, and the stories behind their often-unusual names. Gard's work provides an important snapshot of how Wisconsin residents of a bygone era came to understand the names of their towns and home places, many of which can no longer be found on any map. Celebrated rural historian Jerry Apps introduces this reprint of Gard's work, saying that in "some ways The Romance of Wisconsin Place Names is a reference book, a place where you can go to learn a little more about your home town. But in many ways it is much more than that, for it includes the stories of places throughout the state, submitted by the people who knew them. It is a book where story, people, and place all come together."
