Jerry Apps has written more than forty fiction and nonfiction books about life in the upper Midwest, including In a Pickle and Simple Things: Lessons from the Family Farm. He is a professor emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and has appeared in five documentaries about rural history and country life produced by Wisconsin Public Television.
A heck of a read. Settlers Valley comfortably ambles in
typical Jerry Apps fashion even as chapters bristle with action and
explore complex issues of the day. Every page is a reminder of his
deep understanding of and love for rural Wisconsin." - Bill Berry,
author of Banning DDT: How Citizen Activists in Wisconsin Led the
Way
"Apps weaves a story of intrigue as a rural settlement of veterans
finds itself up against unimagined odds. Flames leap, gunshots
crackle, lovers swoon as a once peaceful Wisconsin valley is
fractured by deception, hatred, and the remnant stresses of war." -
Jim Guhl, author of Eleven Miles to Oshkosh
