Series: 1. Articles, 1872-1945
Scope and Content Note: The Articles series includes essays written on Milwaukee and Wisconsin area on a variety of subjects as listed above. The bulk of the material, including undated items, can be estimated to have happened during the mid to late 1930s, the height of the Works Project Administration. Where an author’s name is available it is noted. Some works are written by locally well-known men from Milwaukee such as Richard E. Krug, Ted Mueller, Edward Heth and Bernard C. Korn. A few first-hand accounts of early Milwaukee are also included, as well as re-printed versions of newspaper articles or speeches given as early as the 1870s. These essays are organized alphabetically by their original titles.
