This review is from: Wisconsin Portraits : 55 People Who Made a Difference (Paperback)

Wisconsin Portraits showcase fifty-five Wisconsin men and women who have done something special to make a difference in the world. They include athletes, soldiers, entertainers, politicians, scientists, and reformers. These superbly written and presented biographies of Wisconsinites who made the world a better, safer, or more interesting place to live, also make Wisconsin Portraits a "must" for school and community libraries throughout the Badger State.
