Great read for teenagers!!
I was reading this book and set it down to get a cup of coffee. I came back to find my teenage son had picked it up and just started reading. He realy connected to the storyline. I joked with him that it is the 'Outsiders' of his time. I didn't take the book back and instead let him continue to read and then snuck the book back after he went to bed. I found that I couldn't put it down and as such, finished it the same day I started. My wife soon found herself in the same boat.

This is a great story, and while only the authors first offering that I know of, I found myself drawn to the characters and excited to read on. I look forward to his next title.

I recommend this book to anyone, especially those with teenagers that, like all teenagers, are trying to find out where they belong and how to fit in, especially in difficult circumstances.

A good read about life in a small town.
This is a great story for those of us who live or work in a small town. Although anyone would enjoy the story, the life stories told in Bury The Dead hit home for people who appreciate the intensity of small town athletics or know what it's like to deal with tragedy in a community where everybody knows everybody else. As I read the book, I could picture members of my own community as the characters described in the book. I would recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a touching story delivered in a straightforward, easy to read style. ... Read more

Nice Nostalgic remembrance
My country school was not featured/mentioned in the book.No matter which country school one attended, the things that took place were the same, no matter the part of the country you were in. The chores students did, the lunches, the teachers, the special programs, the recesses with each season.I am proud to have been in that elite group of having attended a country school, Park School, Clark County, Wisconsin. I took the book along to our last school reunion for people to look at.

You have to be curious about one room schools
I bought this book for my mom who went to a one room school in rural Wisconsin in the 20s and early 30s.It took her a couple days to read (she reads a LOT!).When asked if she liked the book, her reply was "ehh".Translated from "mom-speak", that was "it was better than looking out the window".

A nostalgic history of these yesteryear institutions
The first school in what was to become Wisconsin was established in 1791. The one-room school became a part of every Wisconsin community during the state's formative years. Now they are a nostalgic memory as the state's population outgrew their utility with the completion of consolidated school districts in the 1960s. In One-Room Country Schools: History And Recollections From Wisconsin, Jerry Apps presents a collection of unique memories and shard recollections from a wide diversity of people who learned and taught in the one-room schools of Wisconsin, thereby presenting an informative, entertaining, nostalgic history of these yesteryear institutions -- the one-room school.

This book on country schools is historical and informative.
For those who attended one-room country schools, this book, combining history and personal recollections, will bring back fond memories of a different era.Children were well-educated in these schools; many of themonly completed eight grades, but they could read, write, spell, do math,think, and reason.They also developed social skills and were kind to oneanother. I would recommend this book to anyone who ever attended aone-room school or who is in the field of education. ... Read more
