In this new edition of his classic book, award-winning author Jerry
Apps shares a unique perspective on the great barns of rural
Wisconsin. Digging deep as both an enthusiast and a farmer, Apps
reaps a story of change: from the earliest pioneer structures to
the low steel buildings of modern dairy farms, barns have adapted
to meet the needs of each generation. They've housed wheat,
tobacco, potatoes, and dairy cows, and they display the optimism,
ingenuity, hard work, and practicality of the people who tend land
and livestock. Featuring more than 100 stunning full-color
photographs by Steve Apps, plus dozens of historic images, "Barns
of Wisconsin" illuminates a vanishing way of life. The book
explores myriad barn designs--from rectangular to round, from gable
roof to gambrel, from fieldstone to wood--always with an eye to the
history and craftsmanship of the Norwegians, Germans, Swiss, Finns,
and others who built and used them. "Barns of Wisconsin" captures
both the iconic and the unique, including historic and noteworthy
barns, and discusses the disappearance of barns from our landscape
and preservation efforts to save these important symbols of
American agriculture.
