VOLUME 38 NUMBER 1 •TORICAL SOCIETY OF WISCONSIN Here is portrayed a lazy-hazy autumnal landscape, on the threshold of winter, drenched, no doubt, with the pungent odor of Indian summer's ivoodsmoke. This is one of thousands of glorious pastoral scenes well- known and well-loved in Wisconsin. The sea and the mountain states have their admirers, too, but if you were ON THE COVER: asked to choose the loveliest spot on earth, would you not reply: ^'Make mine Wisconsin"? This picture, taken by Richard Vesey, Madison, was given honorable mention in the Society's Photographic Competition, 1950. It is Simpson's Valley, northeast of Richland Center, in southwestern Wisconsin.
