A History of La Crosse, Wisconsin in the Twentieth Century
Written by personal historians, this book is exactly what you would expect. It's filled with stories about the people -- ordinary and extraordinary -- who invented and reinvented La Crosse Again and again.
La Crosse, Wisconsin
La Crosse, Wisconsin, a Midwestern town with Midwestern sensibilities, is located in the western part of the state, on the Mississippi River. In the twentieth century, La Crosse has seen all of the same changes that the rest of the United States has experienced--two world wars, depression, natural disasters, the emergence of the automobile, great technological advances, and the day-to-day family existence that has defined small-town America. In this new addition to the Images of America series, the La Crosse County Historical Society has drawn from its wonderful collection of historic images to offer readers a glimpse into the area's past. Even if you did not grow up in La Crosse, you will recognize these scenes from everyday life that are a part of us all.
A History of La Crosse, Wisconsin, 1841-1900
This is the first history of the city to be written. La Crosse is a city in and the county seat of La Crosse County, Wisconsin, United States. The city lies alongside the Mississippi River and remains the largest city on Wisconsin's western border. La Crosse was incorporated as a city in 1856, but its history dates further.
La Crosse
La Crosse is situated between the Mississippi River and the picturesque bluffs of the Driftless Area. Founded in the 1840s, La Crosse's location at the intersection of three rivers attracted entrepreneurs. Fertile farmlands, scenic coulees, and prosperous industries enticed adventurous East Coasters and immigrants to settle in the area. From the 1850s to early 1900s, a boomtown atmosphere shaped the city's culture and fueled the construction of a distinctive downtown--much of which remains standing today.
