This section hasn't changed much since I first created it. I originally had the all the biographies together, and separate Dewey numbers for different places, but as I looked at how the collection grew it made more sense to group world history together and separate out the US history more. Biographies are intershelved, but given a cutter of the subject rather than the author. US holidays are included in US history with an additional cutter of HOL and I also have some series nonfiction about US symbols that are together under SYM. Originally I had Wisconsin only in 977, but the limited number of state-specific books made it easier to just put general Midwest-themed items here.
