Milwaukee Streets: The Stories Behind Their Names

Carl Baehr, a librarian, researched the background of Milwaukee street names over a period of six years, using maps, records, histories, newspapers, interviews, and other sources. The book covers Milwaukee's eight hundred street names and offers fascinating glimpses into the city's rich heritage; from French fur traders to Yankee speculators, from wealthy German tycoons of the Gay Nineties to African American leaders of the 20th century. This book is out-of-print and we are selling used copies.
