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 became the home to modern retailing, skyscrapers, and an increasingly concentrated downtown. The Chicago stockyards fed the world, and railroads turned the city into the nation's transportation hub. When a great fire leveled the city, Chicago rose again. Borzo helps you explore a missile site that became a bird sanctuary; explains how the city's first public library was located in an abandoned water tank; and introduces us to business leaders, society dames, anarchists and army generals. -- adapted from back cover
