Wisconsin!

NonFiction

We've Been Her All Along: Wisconsin's early gay history by R. Richard Wagner. Chapter Six is about medical treatments for homosexuality. A 1946 quote from the Milwaukee Journal "Make it possible to commit the overt homosexual to a special institution, not for a term but until cured." Dammmmmmmn... I flipped through the book and this looks pretty interesting.

Madison in the Sixties by Stuart D. Levitan. According to the cover images this is all about footbal, protests, and architecture. But, I just looked up Badger football records for the 1960s and there was only one good year. That was the Rose Bowl year from 1962.

Frank Lloyd Wright's Penwern: a summer estate by Mark Hertzberg.  Pretty pictures of a house.

Stories From the Wreckage: a Great Lakes maritime history inspired by shipwrecks by John Odin Jensen.
