Wisconsin, the perfect state? Regarded primarily as the beer and cheese capital of the United States and the home of the legendary football team the Green Bay Packers, many outsiders might question that claim. Of course, natives take it for granted. In Wisconsin: A Photographic Tour, noted photographer Carol M. Highsmith and the distinguished writer Ted Landphair prove that The Badger State is more than beer and bratwurst.
With more than fourteen thousand lakes and stunning natural landscapes, Wisconsin is a vacationer's paradise. Nature lovers, bicyclists, fishermen, hunters, skiers, and boaters converge yearly to take pleasure in the pristine beauty of the state's natural wonders. From windsurfing on Lake Mendota to bicycling through Sparta to spearfishing for sturgeon on Lake Winnebago, Wisconsin offers a seemingly endless variety of outdoor relaxation. But the state can hardly be stereotyped merely as an open-air playground. Wisconsin's most famous tourist attraction is the House on the Rock, a a curious architectural spectacle perched high above Wyoming Valley. Another structural wonder awaits in Spring Green at Taliesin, the house of one of the state's most famous residents, Frank Lloyd Wright, America's greatest architect. In Milwaukee, one can tour the city's illustrious mansions or attend the renowned Great Circus Parade, which takes place each July. In Madison, one will find the state capitol and the University of Wisconsin-one of America's finest colleges.
With its striking photos and insightful text, Wisconsin: A Photographic Tour brings this picturesque region vividly to life. It makes an excellent gift for anyone who has visited orwants to visit this incomparable state.
