Description:"The world is crowding in"A community - Eau Claire or any other - is its people and its institutions. During the period this volume covers, perhaps no one in Eau Claire had a more intimate knowledge of its leading institutions, or a keener eye in observing its people, than Ralph W. Owen did. Owen was a driving force behind Luther Hospital, the Red Cross, and the public library. (His father, John S. Owen, left his name all over the Chippewa Valley: Owen, Wisconsin, the Owen Park Bandshell, Lake Owen.)To be a community we must have good citizens. To be good citizens, we must be engaged. In this way, Owen's bright and casual reminiscence, often pretty darned funny, disguises a call to action. In this sequel to the popular "Ralph Owen's Eau Claire: The Character of a City, 1884-1909, Owen again animates the town he called home and gives us the tenor of these "new" times.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
