Not quite as good as the 1884 History of Richland County, Wisconsin, but updates it to 1906. The first 11 chapters are very haphazard in their organization. They seem to skip around all over the place. The last 16 chapters cover each of the 16 townships and are fair except that each claim to be the best township in the county. Overall, a good reference volume.
