Description

Dane County Place-Names is an entertaining record of the heritage of Dane County, Wisconsin's capital region, from its earliest days through the 1940s.

This classic work by the late lexicographer Frederic G.

Cassidy is back in print for new generations to enjoy.

Cassidy applied his insightful eye to the origins and evolution of local names that reveal a colorful history: Whiskey Creek, Brag Hollow, Marxville, Pancake Valley, Halunkenburg, Skunk Hollow, and Tipple School.

This edition features a new introduction by local historian Tracy Will and a foreword by Isthmus journalist David Medaris.
