Book Description

ISBN-10: 0938627597 | ISBN-13: 978-0938627593 | Publication Date: September 2003

By far the most thorought, honest and colorful history of Oshkosh Wisconsin ever published. This visually stunning coffee table volume is an absorbing and delightful read as well as an informative historical study.

The smooth narrative--detailed enough for a history class yet as eloquent as fine fiction--is enlivened by nearly 500 illustrations--black and white and full color, many never before published that present the full story of one city that represents all America.

This review is from: Oshkosh at 150: An Illustrated History of Oshkosh : Published in Honor of the Sesquiecentennial of City Incorporation, 1853-2003 (Hardcover)

Published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Oshkosh's incorporation in 1853, Oshkosh At 150: An Illustrated History Of Oshkosh is an informed and informative, single-volume history which aptly chronicles stories of this quirky and wonderful Wisconsin city -- and the people wh have lived there over the years. Very nicely illustrated with a wealth of black-and-white photographs, Oshkosh At 150 is an excellent gift or souvenir book, extensively researched and offering a detailed, wide-eyed glimpse into local history, and a "must" for all public school and community library Wisconsin History collections.
