Reviews
"Wisconsin Death Trip has become a cult favorite, an example of hybrid nonfiction narrative about more than an era and its people in Black River Falls. Lesy created a story of the seen and unseen, the spoken and the silent in small-town America at the end of the nineteenth century. . . . In that space between knowing and not knowing, Wisconsin Death Trip becomes mesmerizing." -- River Teeth: A Journal of Nonfiction Narrative

      "A Psychic Crisis"

      This book is a look at the population of Black River Falls and the surrounding counties during a 20 year period (1890-1910). The demeanor of these people (and probably common of many rural communities) and the circumstances that may have precipitated them are shown in excerpts from local newspapers. Interesting, especially for me who grew up in this portion of Wisconsin and a thought provoking essay on those difficult times. Not the usual look at history.

      Not Your Typical History Book

      Bizarre newspaper clippings combine with quirky offbeat pictures. This book gives you a very different perspective on the 1880s.
