A portrait of the Welsh who brought their language, religion, and way of life to Wisconsin Life in Wales in the mid-nineteenth century proved grim for many of its farmers. Large landowners controlled most of the arable land, tracts of which they rented out to tenant farmers. Corn laws prohibited importation of cheap food and drove up domestic food prices, leaving the typical tenant-farming family in the ironic situation of having fields full of grain but empty cupboards. Between 1840 and 1890 many Welsh looked to Wisconsin for relief, where they could purchase inexpensive, productive land. In 1872, unofficial estimates found 18,260 Welsh living in larger settlements and the 1900 U.S. census showed 4,200 in rural settlements. The newcomers kept to themselves; maintained their native language, Cymraeg; built churches and worshipped together in close-knit communities; and maintained their national traditions. This new edition in the People of Wisconsin series features letters from the Owen family, those who emigrated to Baraboo in 1846 and those who stayed behind, in North Wales, and letters of Private John Jones, who served in the Union army in the Civil War.

In the spring of 2011, Wisconsinites took to the streets in what became the largest and liveliest labor demonstrations in modern American history. Protesters in the Middle East sent greetings?and pizzas?to the thousands occupying the Capitol building in Madison, and 150,000 demonstrators converged on the city.In a year that has seen a revival of protest in America, here is a riveting account of the first great wave of grassroots resistance to the corporate restructuring of the Great Recession.It Started in Wisconsin includes eyewitness reports by striking teachers, students, and others (such as Wisconsin-born musician Tom Morello), as well as essays explaining Wisconsin`s progressive legacy by acclaimed historians. The book lays bare the national corporate campaign that crafted Wisconsin`s anti-union legislation and similar laws across the country, and it conveys the infectious esprit de corps that pervaded the protests with original pictures and comics.
