The book, I believe, helps us to understand and appreciate our city's past. The first and perhaps most important of the 24 stories is of the wood and lumber industry located along the Fox River, Lake Winnebago and nearby waterways. This industry would become the primary force for the growth and development of our city.

Also featured is our German heritage, Prohibition, racial segregation, the economic depression of the 1930s, World War II and a variety of other events and movements that have impacted our community. Each of these stories are told through the memories of those who lived it. 

The reason I've been writing about the history and people of Oshkosh is to contribute a fuller understanding of local history. Most of my writings are based on interviews although I also explore books and articles that help me understand both the event and the developing story. And the experience and knowledge I've gathered while living in Oshkosh helps as well.
