The Bark River valley in southeastern Wisconsin is a microcosm of the state's - indeed, of the Great Lakes region's - natural and human history. "The Bark River Chronicles" reports one couple's journey by canoe from the river's headwaters to its confluence with the Rock River and several miles farther downstream to Lake Koshkonong. Along the way, it tells the stories of Ice Age glaciation, the effigy mound builders, the Black Hawk War, early settlement and the development of waterpower sites, and recent efforts to remove old dams and mitigate the damage done by water pollution and invasive species. Along with these big stories, the book recounts dozens of little stories associated with sites along the river. The winter ice harvest, grain milling technology, a key supreme court decision regarding toxic waste disposal, a small-town circus, a scheme to link the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River by canal, the murder of a Chicago mobster, controversies over race and social class in Waukesha County's lake country, community efforts to clean up the river and restore a marsh, visits to places associated with the work of important Wisconsin writers - these and many other stories belong to the Bark River chronicles. For the two voyageurs who paddle the length of the Bark, it is a journey of rediscovery and exploration. As they glide through marshes, woods, farmland, and cities, they acquire not only historical and environmental knowledge but also a renewed sense of the place in which they live. Maps and historical photographs help the reader share their experience.

Once known as Crowell Hilaka Girl Scout Camp, the history of Richfield Heritage Preserve begins in the early 19th century with the Oviatt family. They farmed the land for three generations until selling to inventor James B. Kirby in 1919. With the fortune he made from vacuum cleaners and washing machines, Kirby built a home above his patented lake, powered it with electricity from his experimental mill, and invited friends to dance on his spring-loaded dance floor. Cleveland Girl Scouts turned the property into Camp Julia Crowell in 1937. In 1957, the Scouts purchased the adjoining remnant of the Neal estate, named the new addition Hilaka, and upgraded for the possibility of making Crowell Hilaka an international destination. The people of Richfield reclaimed the green space and the history when they voted to buy the former camp in 2014. The property is now a public park.
Women Will Evangelize the World "Leadership is influence" John Maxwell Yes, leadership is influence, and women have got it. And behind every great man is a good woman. The woman was created to be a help meet for the man. Man's helper. But when it comes to the devil, woman is a major player of the household. That means if the devil is to destroy Adam's family, he has to get the woman in his corner, agreeing with him. Therefore, when the devil, Satan, got the woman, Eve; Adam was not a match. Satan had the whole family: Adam, Eve, Cain, Abel, and the human race at large. Therefore, Mama Bear, the woman, is angry with her number-one enemy, the devil, and is now ready to evangelize and gather her children across the world, since Jesus has conquered and destroyed the power of the devil. God spoke to me and said, "Women will evangelize the world." Remember, history repeats itself. If the devil used woman to get Adam's family, it is obvious God will use women to gather Adam's family back to God's kingdom.
