Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Milwaukee is often described as a "big small town," and its quirky character stems from its many neighborhoods--each with its own stories to tell. Early territorial disputes, for example, led to the horribly (or humorously) misaligned streets of downtown. The city's signature rectangular pizza was born in the Third Ward. In Kilbourntown, Teddy Roosevelt was saved from an assassin's bullet by the smallest of items. Not far from that spot, eight baseball team owners formed the American League of Professional Baseball Clubs. And no matter the neighborhood, a fantastic glass of suds is never far away in this renowned beer city. Leading readers on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood tour, author and Milwaukee native Jim Nelsen pinpoints the fascinating historic locations of the Cream City.

Available in print or accessibility-enhanced e-book format, Milwaukee Through History highlights the city's multiple transformations--from a resource-rich homeland of several Native nations to an immigrant hub to an industrial boomtown and, finally, to a vibrant tourist destination that continues to grapple with issues of systemic poverty and segregation. Readers will discover key people, places, events, and innovations that made Milwaukee--and national--history, including: - Freedom seeker Joshua Glover - Whitnall Park and the James E. Groppi Unity Bridge - Labor movements and the fair housing marches - Industrial giants such as Harley Davidson and Allen Bradley - Civil rights leader Vel Phillips Author James K. Nelsen sheds new light on important events and milestones in history, including the American Revolution, the War of 1812, the Civil War, and the Great Migration. Written with students in mind and featuring a glossary and discussion questions, Milwaukee Through History is both an engaging supplement to Wisconsin and US history curricula and a great read for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of a diverse and dynamic city.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Founded next to a great lake and a sluggish river, Chicago grew faster than any city ever has. Splendid department stores created modern retailing, and the skyscraper was invented to handle the needs of booming businesses in an increasingly concentrated downtown. The stockyards fed the world, and railroads turned the city into the nation's transportation hub. A great fire leveled the city, but Chicago rose again. Glorious museums, churches and theaters sprang up. Explore a missile site that became a bird sanctuary and discover how Chicago's first public library came to be located in an abandoned water tank. Follow the steps of business leaders and society dames, anarchists and army generals, and learn whose ashes were surreptitiously sprinkled over Wrigley Field. Combining years of research and countless miles of guided tours, author Greg Borzo pursues Chicago's sweeping historical arc through its fascinating nooks and crannies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Minneapolis began at the Falls of St. Anthony, the sole waterfall on the Mississippi River. The cataract, the great hydrological engine, propelled the city's economic growth and physical expansion, and two distinct municipal identities emerged. A city of seasons, Minneapolis celebrates winter flurries and chills with ice skating and hot chocolate at the annual Holidazzle Festival. In the sultry midsummer heat, the Aquatennial brings swimmers and boating enthusiasts to the Chain of Lakes and the river. Landmarks, too, define the topography-Spoonbridge and Cherry, the Stone Arch and Hennepin Avenue Bridges, the Foshay Tower and the IDS Center. Join local authors Sherman Wick and Holly Day on a trip beyond the typical guidebook as they explore the architecture, parks and historical figures of the Mill City.
