The stories in this book offer a fair view of recent and not-so-recent life in Madison, Wisconsin, and include a tale about the man who got rich writing the Oscar Mayer wiener jingle, as well as one about a young hitchhiker who had decided to try to start her life over in Madison, but never made it to the city.
This is a fun read for anyone interested in the local history of Madison, Wisconsin. The book is composed of Doug Moe columns that were first published in the The Capital Times.
