Synopsis

With a diverse geography, beautiful natural wonders and cities, tourism naturally plays a major role in Wisconsins economy, and the nickname, 'America's Dairyland,' speaks to the importance of agriculture. Of course, cheeseheads abound in Green Bay and throughout the state, as do the Effigy Mounds - burial mounds - in the form of animals or birds of the Woodland Indians. The Handy Wisconsin Answer Book takes an in-depth look at the state's variety along with its fascinating history, people, myths, culture, and trivia. Covering its industries, politicians, arts, media, culture and, of course, sports dynasties and legends, it brings the states past and present to life, it answers to nearly 1,400 questions the Badger State's unique and interesting history, people and places including: What is the state dance? How did log rolling become a sport? Was Paul Bunyan a real person? Where is the Pabst Mansion located? How many Wisconsin towns claim to be the UFO Capital of the World?
