Jerry Apps: “Rural Wisconsin History” at the Sequoya Branch

September 15th, 2009 Alicia

Wisconsin authors are teaming up with the Sequoya Branch Library and the Madison Public Library Foundation for a series of events to help you learn more about the Madison Community Foundation’s 2009 Library Endowment Matching Challenge Grant program. Meet some of your favorite local authors and hear about their latest works at these presentations held at the Sequoya Branch Library.

On Monday, September 21 at 7:00 p.m., join Jerry Apps for “Rural Wisconsin History”. Apps, born and raised on a Wisconsin farm, is Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin and the author of more than 25 books, many of them on rural history and country life. He will be discussing his latest book, Old Farm: A History, which tells the story of his land, from the last great glacier that dug out its valleys and formed its hills, to his own family’s forty-year relationship with the beloved farm they called Roshara.
