History Lover’s Guide to Milwaukee, A, Wisconsin, History & Guide, Paperback

History Lover’s Guide to Milwaukee, A, Wisconsin, History & Guide, Paperback A History Lover’s Guide to Milwaukee offers something for visitors and lifelong residents alike. Often described as a « big small town,’? Milwaukee’s 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.

Highway 25 in the Carolinas, South Carolina, Transportation, Paperback

Highway 25 in the Carolinas, South Carolina, Transportation, Paperback Discover the history of an ancient road. Traveling US 25 through the Carolinas today is a much more pleasant experience than it was in the 1700s. Then, the road from the Tennessee Cherokee Towns to Augusta, Georgia, was a Cherokee trading path that followed a bison trace to the navigable port on the Savannah River. Drovers came from as far as Kentucky herding hogs, turkeys and mules. Lowcountry South Carolinians traveled by stagecoach and wagon to the foothills and mountains, staying for months. The Augusta Road, Saluda Gap and Buncombe Turnpike became the Dixie Highway Carolina Division and then the US Route 25 by 1931. Author Anne Peden travels the trading path and concrete highway to explore this fascinating history.
