Summary

In History Afield, Robert Willging brings the people and places of Wisconsin#x19;s storied outdoors past to life. Drawing on dozens of first-hand interviews and accounts, he explores the richly varied history of sporting pursuits in Wisconsin, from hunting for waterfowl or deer to trout fishing in wild northern Wisconsin rivers to vacationing at family-operated lakeside resorts, and more. Willging#x19;s tales of hunting exploits and presidential fishing visits to northern Wisconsin reveal a unique slice of our sporting culture. His moving accounts of nature#x19;s fury include a detailed account of the famous Armistice Day storm, as well as the dangers of ice fishing on Lake Superior. And his chapters on live decoys and the Wisconsin-bred American water spaniel explore the human-animal bond that has played such a large part in our outdoors life. Illuminated with historic photos depicting Wisconsin#x19;s early sporting life, History Afieldshows how the intimate relationship between humans and nature helped shape this elemental part of the state#x19;s heritage.
