And what does this have to do with beer? Plenty. Randy invited me to contribute a chapter to the book. I couldn't pass that up. My piece, Riding the White Mule, is about the twisted history of Prohibition in Oshkosh. I believe this is the first time Oshkosh's beer-soaked stumble through the dry years has been covered in any kind of comprehensive way.
Of course, there's a lot more than my typing in there. Like Randy's previous two books, We Shall Never Pass This Way Again offers a generous selection of stories from Oshkosh's surprising past; with enough mayhem and murder along the way to keep things jumping. It's the sort of stuff that'll make you see our city a little differently than you did before.
You can pick up We Shall Never Pass This Way Again in Oshkosh at Caramel Crisp Cafe, the Oshkosh Public Museum Gift Shop, Studio 3, and Cinders Restaurant. Or you can go here and get it online.
