reviewed Iowa History Reader on November 05, 2015 Iowa History Reader
If you like pictures of cities, especially older Midwestern/Rust Belt cities, this is a must-see. Lyle Oberwise took some 43,000 photos, mostly color slides, of Milwaukee over the decades, which were largely unknown until his death. This book collects about 150, mostly mid-century, of course. If you like beautiful old architecture (much of it now lost), streetcars, rails, neon signs, street scenes, etc., there's so much to enjoy here. I hope to see more of the collection. (I first noticed some of it on display at the new Amtrak/Greyhound station in Milwaukee.)
