Jerry Apps started his career as a county extension agent in Green Lake and Brown counties in 1957, then moved on to work as publications editor in the State 4-H Office. Born and raised on a Wisconsin farm, Apps is now the author of more than 30 books, many of them on rural history and country life, and is an emeritus professor at UW-Madison. Apps suggested three books, one published in 2010, one in 1939, and one in 1854. ?I believe all three of them have much to say to us today,? he said.
