What History Tells presents an impressive collection of critical papers from the September 2001 conference ""An Historian's Legacy: George L. Mosse and Recent Research on Fascism, Society, and Culture."" This book examines Mosse's historiographical legacy, first within the context of his own life and the internal development of his work and, second by tracing the many ways Mosse influenced the subsequent study of contemporary history, European cultural history, and modern Jewish history. The contributors include the distinguished scholars Walter Laqueur, David Sabcan, Johann Sommerville, Emilio Gentile, Roger Griffin, Saul Friedlander, Jay Winter, Rudy Koshar, Robert Nye, Janna Bourke, Shulamit Volkov, and Steven E. Aschheim.

The colorful history and culture of Wisconsin are reflected in its place names, from those created by Native Americans, French explorers, and diverse European settlers to more recent appellations commemorating political figures, postmasters, and landowners. Organized alphabetically for easy reference, Edward Callary’s concise entries reveal the stories behind such intriguing names as Fussville, Misha Mokwa, Couderay, and Thiry Daems. Fun to read and packed with information, Place Names of Wisconsin is a must-have for anyone interested in Wisconsin and Midwest history, language, geography, and culture—or anyone who simply wonders “why did they name it that?”
