About this product
Product Information
The bodies are buried, but the stories are not. From the ornate tombs of Milwaukee beer barons to displaced Chippewa graves and miniscule family plots, Badger Boneyards: The Eternal Rest of the Story unearths the stories of Wisconsin. Football great John Heisman is buried here, as is the state's smallest man, a woman whose tombstone names her murderer, and the boy who would not tell a lie and paid the price. Even in a graveyard, peace proves hard to come by: Wisconsin's Native American tribes have fought for undisturbed grounds and proper burial. A patch of Belgian graves now resides beneath a parking lot while the headstones cluster nearby, and the inhabitants of a Bayfield cemetery were unearthed by a raging flood. Sometimes the dead are recalled with only a first name, and sometimes no name at all. Following the clues in tips from readers, unusual epitaphs, and well-worn stones, Dennis McCann finds the melancholy, the humorous, the tragic, and the universal in Wisconsin's cities of the dead.

"Dennis McCann's latest book is the last word on Wisconsin's cemeteries. From Bayfield to Prairie du Chien to Milwaukee, he describes the final homes of our former residents with the warmth, humor, and fundamental compassion of a born storyteller." ( John Gurda, Milwaukee historian ), "Nobody tells a story quite like Dennis McCann. InBadger Boneyardshe weaves the same blend of humor and humanity that made him one of the most widely read newspaper columnists in the state. This is a thoroughly entertaining collection of true stories written by one of Wisconsin's favorite writers."-Michael Bie, ClassicWisconsin.com, "Dennis McCann, one of Wisconsin's best storytellers, not only knows where the bodies are buried, he knows that many of them have great tales to tell. McCann's natural curiosity and affection for cemeteries make Badger Boneyards: The Eternal Rest of the Story a delight that constantly informs and surprises. I can only hope he'll do a sequel and track down a stone with an epitaph that's long rumored to exist in Dane County: 'She finally sleeps alone.'" ( Doug Moe, daily columnist, the Wisconsin State Journal , author of The World of Mike Royko and Lords of the Ring ) "Nobody tells a story quite like Dennis McCann.

From Bayfield to Prairie du Chien to Milwaukee, he describes the final homes of our former residents with the warmth, humor, and fundamental compassion of a born storyteller." ( John Gurda, Milwaukee historian ) "The past is never dead, as McCann vividly recounts in these sometimes funny, often sober, but always enlightening tales of Wisconsin's disrupted spirits, famous sons and daughters, and unknown citizens. Badger Boneyards is an entertaining and insightful look at Wisconsin's history through its past lives." ( Erika Janik, author of A Short History of Wisconsin and Odd Wisconsin: Amusing, Perplexing and Unlikely Stories from Wisconsin's Past ) "Longtime travel columnist Dennis McCann has turned his distinctive blend of storytelling and humor to the sites where most of our human journeys end. McCann recounts 30 tales of Wisconsin cemeteries (plus one each over the borders in Michigan and Iowa). . . .Ā [landing] on boneyards big and little, with a special preference for the small and striking." ( Jim Higgins, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ) "If there's a journalistic 'Dr. Frankenstein Award,' McCann would be an odds-on favorite to win. He proves convincingly that the dead can be brought back to life. It's a fascinating book that's hard to put down." ( Gary Knowles,Ā Dane County Lifestyles ) "There is the sensitivity to small-town life that is the hallmark of McCann's writing, along with his playful use of language. . . .Ā He never makes fun of his subjects, but revels in telling their stories. His cemetery stories are far more about life than they are about death." ( Tim Cuprisin, OnMilwaukee.com ), "Dennis McCann's latest book is the last word on Wisconsin's cemeteries.
