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

Synopsis
A shocking portrait of a small town crumbling--socially, morally, physically and emotionally--under the impact of the great depression of the 1890s. This "cult classic" is now available again in paperback., First published in 1973, this remarkable book about life in a small turn-of-the-century Wisconsin town has become a cult classic. Lesy has collected and arranged photographs taken between 1890 and 1910 by a Black River Falls photographer, Charles Van Schaik.

    "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.
