Description
Growing up on the family farm, Jerry Apps learned from a young age that water was precious. The farm had no running water, a windmill pumped drinking water for the herd of cattle and Jerry and his brothers hauled bucket after bucket of water for the family’s use. As Jerry writes, “Water is one of the most precious things on this planet, necessary for all life, and we must do everything we can to protect it.” Jerry is Professor Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and the author of more than 35 books on rural history and country life.
