Poy Sippi and Eastern Waushara County
In the early stages of Wisconsin's statehood, Vermonters settled in an area in east-central Wisconsin. Poy Sippi is a fine example of the pioneers' thirst for adventure, exploration, and hard work ethic. The lakes, creeks, and swamps did not impede this thirst. A small town nestled between two hills, Poy Sippi reminded the settlers of their eastern homes. The interaction of families within the neighboring communities brought about strong bonds and the development of eastern Waushara County. This is their story, told through vintage photographs.

I really enjoyed learning more about how Waushara County looked back in the 1800's and early 1900's. It was fun to see some of the recognizable surnames as well. However, it doesn't feel comprehensive. This book tends to focus on a couple families within each community. I really wish it had more. Why did Poy Sippi and other commmunities fail to become larger towns? That was the question I asked myself as I read. It was unfortunately left unanswered.
