• Sommario/riassunto: "From 1791, when the first school was established in what is now Wisconsin, to the consolidation of rural school districts in the 1960s, the one-room school's history has been one of growth and change. In One-Room Country Schools, Jerry Apps relays this history through his own vivid recollections of attending Chain O'Lake School in Waushara County, along with the stories of countless students and teachers who populated small country schools across the state over the years.
