Always Something Exciting in the Magazine of History
In this issue of the Wisconsin Magazine of History, Wisconsin's quarter debuts amidst various opinions about which design best reflects the state's history, and state quarter council member Lawrence Barish explains the process. Wisconsin played a role in presidential politics long before it became known as a "swing state," and Professor Ronald Snyder describes the 1944 primary election and how Wisconsin voters ended the political career of Wendell Willkie. Readers who remember the days of radio in the classroom will recognize the man in the plaid shirt and recall the organ music that greeted them on Monday mornings when students throughout the state went "Afield with Ranger Mac." As the weather cools, learn more about the beauty of the handheld fans found at the Society's latest exhibit, Cool Breezes. Reviews, letters, curio and the issue's book excerpt round out the latest issue.
