Great Madison history

I grew up closer to the UW campus than my Grade or High school. This is a wonderful history book and the old pictures were especially fascinating. I learned a lot about where I came from.

This book does it all!

As a student at the University of Wisconsin, I found this book to be very informative. It not only tells the history of the school, but offers insights that could not be found anywhere else. Moreover, the pictures in this text truly display the UW-Madison's overwhelming beauty. I enjoyed this book because in one sitting, you can learn the history of such a fine institution, coupled with beautiful photographs. This book exemplifies why all badgers have such pride for their alma matar!
