Book Description
From City Hall to the Pabst Theater, reminders of the past are part of the fabric of Milwaukee. Yet many historic treasures have been lost to time. An overgrown stretch of the Milwaukee River was once a famous beer garden. Blocks of homes and apartments replaced the Wonderland Amusement Park. A quiet bike path now stretches where some of fastest trains in the world previously thundered. Today's Estabrook Park was a vast mining operation, and Marquette University covers the old fairgrounds where Abraham Lincoln spoke. Author Carl Swanson recounts these stories and other tales of bygone days.

Book Description
"Urban Wilderness provides an inspiring and clear-sighted commentary on the conditions and potentials of nature in urban America. We are encouraged when we read about the remarkable citizen-led effort in Milwaukee to restore the natural corridors of its major metropolitan watershed for wildlife and to protect the scenic heritage that had largely been ignored until recently. Daniel opens a door to understanding how regional and global forces shape a shared urban landscape and how the "greening" of Milwaukee's industrial river benefits wildlife and nature, thus enhancing urban living. He leads us on a voyage of discovery - not of faraway lands, but of his own backyard - and shows us that it is just as important to discover and protect the familiar as it is to seek out new and unfamiliar places."--BOOK JACKET.
