Chapters 1-6: Native Americans, Traders & Settlers, A City Is Born/The Uneasy Melting Pot

This visual history of Milwaukee traces the city from its beginnings of pristine waters, fertile lands, and home to Native Americans. Then, French explorers and settlers arrive. Soon, Milwaukee becomes a city, and its founders--Solomon Juneau, Byron Kilbourn, and George Walker--battle for supremacy. The Cream City's story continues, as many immigrant groups come together in an uneasy melting pot.
