2594 The Wisconsin: River of a Thousand Isles, by August Derleth (read 9 Apr 1994) This is a 1942 book about the river which rises in northwestern Wisconsin and empties into the Mississippi at Prairie du Chien. It is one of the Rivers of America series, and is I think the first book I have read in that series. The book was of interest because it tells of Dr. Peter Fahrney, whose patent medicines were a family staple when I was a child. The book is not a bad book, but there was a lot in the book that didn't interest me very much. ( )
