Lifetime Rusk County Wisconsin farmer, Bryce Coggins, was diagnosed with cancer in 1993. After selling his cows and finding more time on his hands, he began to put his lifetime experiences to paper by way of many short stories. His membership in the local writers club gave him motivation to write his stories, many of which were published in various forms. Upon his death in 2019, members of his family began to gather his stories into a collection that could be published. From the Farmer’s Pen is the result of that effort.
The stories in the collection range from life on the farm, logging camps, school days, and the county fair to poetry, good, old family life and a lot of interesting neighbors. Bryce also wrote of how his family came to Rusk County around the turn of the twentieth century to carve a farm out of cut-over northern Wisconsin forest land.
