NEXT WEDNESDAY, MAY 8, at 7pm! The LAST BHG lecture in our series for 2023-2024 will be with ever erudite, Michael Goc, who will give the talk, Badger Stories to tell, Culled from Forty Years of Research and Writing.
He describes, "As any researcher knows, no matter what the subject, you find something interesting while you are looking for something else. After forty years of historical research, Michael Goc has encountered many an interesting story that he wasn’t looking for. Researching Badger history has been no exception. For his talk, Michael will share some accidental discoveries involving fire on the Sauk Prairie, the birth of the Progressive political movement, and fishing on Lake Wisconsin. His cast of characters includes Agostin Haraszthy, Robert La Follette, Robert Seibecker, and Ted Weigand combined into a mix of fire, water and politics—all with a link to Badger."
Michael Goc is the award-winning author of Powder, People and Place: Badger Ordnance Works and the Sauk Prairie. He has long been involved with BHG and still serves as Newsletter Editor. Mike is also very active with the Adams County Historical Society.
