Recenzii
"A highly readable, balanced account of the area that became the state of Wisconsin in 1848... [Wyman] elevates his narrative from a limited state history to a fascinating story of the gains and perils, ebbs and flows that characterize the American frontier saga." -- Western Historical Quarterly "An informative and readable overview.... [Wyman's] integration of Indian history into the work is well done and commendable." -- Journal of Illinois History "Wyman has a smooth style, with an eye for informative yet catchy quotations. He has compressed volumes of material without losing the 'you-are-there' dynamic that characterizes all good history. This is a book for the general public to which professional historians might well turn to discover an original interpretation.... A well-told, well-documented tale." -- Wisconsin Academy Review "A superb history." -- Midwest Book Review "Outstanding Achievement." -- Wisconsin Library Association
