Worth reading

This is a great book for anyone who is interested in Madison WI. My Husband is from Madison and his family is still there. So when I spotted this book, I thought it would be a nice little gift for Christmas. It turned out to be a big hit. My Mother-In-Law grew up in the Greenbush neighborhood and knew a lot of the people in the book along with a lot of the stories in it. My husband also grew up there until they tore it down. It's a really good book because it's not a fluff piece. It actually tells you a lot of what went on back then. Things that my Husband didn't even know, but my Mother-In-Law confirmed when he asked. Anyway, if you're interested in the history of Madison, I highly recommend it!
