The Winter 2024 issue of Wisconsin’s Magazine of History has just been released!

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗕𝘂𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗔𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻

Out of the contentious environment of early 1970s Wisconsin, a group of hopeful young writers and artists created one of state’s most influential underground newspapers. Founded as an alternative to more radical weeklies, the Bugle American offered readers in Milwaukee and Madison a wide range of content covering politics, community happenings, music, opinion, and more—including reviews of performances by Patti Smith and the Rolling Stones. Originally founded in Madison by writers Dave Schreiner and Mike Hughes and cartoonist Denis Kitchen, the newspaper grew into a cultural phenomenon after moving its offices to Milwaukee. With a robust staff and steady readership, the Bugle thrived as a non-mainstream news source willing to challenge the status quo—even after a shocking firebombing attack in 1975 left the Bugle offices in ruins. Including review of performances by Patti Smith (featured on our cover reading a copy of the Bugle American) and the Rolling Stones.

Due to the costs associated with the resource, MCFLS libraries that continue to offer Hoopla are reducing the monthly checkouts from 4 to 2 as of January 1st.

The West Allis Public Library will continue to offer 2 Hoopla checkouts per month for West Allis Residents. Patrons will still have access to Libby for eBooks, eAudio and other materials, as well as Kanopy for streaming movies.

If you are not a West Allis resident, please check with your home library to see if access to Hoopla is being changed.
