Wisconsin for Kennedy book by B.J. Hollars, 2024. From the back cover: "In early 1960, presidential candidate John F. Kennedy faced an uncertain path to the Oval Office. So he did something no winning candidate had done before: he leveraged the power of state primaries, appealing directly to the people to help clinch his party's nomination. Before JFK could win the White House, he had to win Wisconsin. Wisconsin for Kennedy shares the history-making story of the 1960 Wisconsin primary and how Kennedy's nail-biting win in that hotly contested race propelled him all the way to the presidency. Author B.J. Hollars takes us behind the scenes to meet the people who made it happen—people from all walks of life who answered Kennedy's call to work toward a better, more equitable future." Part of Kennedy's campaign included stops in Sparta and Tomah in 1959 and 1960. Book contains several black and white photos. Softcover, 238 pages.
