It is certainly not uncommon for state historical societies to have publications dedicated to promulgating their state’s various historical eras, events, and happenstances. Wisconsin is no exception to this rule, and the Wisconsin Magazine of History (published under the direction of the Wisconsin Historical Society) is quite a joy to examine, both online and in print. First published in 1917, the magazine was significantly redesigned in 2000, and continues to publish a wide variety of articles on the state’s history. On this site, visitors can browse all of the issues since 2000, and also take a look at some favorites from the editors. Some of these articles include “A Winter in Wisconsin” by Francis Hackett and an account of early motoring throughout the state by Dorothy V. Walters titled “Devil-Wagon Days”.
