Description
"Water has been so critical to Milwaukee's development that imagining the community without it is virtually impossible. Milwaukee was literally built on water -- along the shores of Lake Michigan and its three main rivers, the Milwaukee, Menomonee, and Kinnickinnic, and on top of countless tons of landfill that raised the entire city out of the wetlands in the 1850s. Water was also the driving force behind many elements of Milwaukee's evolution, for transportation, industry, recreation, sanitation, or simply as the backdrop for daily life."--Provided by publisher.
