About this product

Product Information

Milwaukee loves the Oak Leaf Trail, a 125-mile path connecting the major Milwaukee County parks. But many don't know the history behind the trail. Believing parks to be the "lungs of the people," long-range thinkers like Charles Whitnall advocated for the verdant spaces the trail would later snake through. To promote biking as an alternative to precious gasoline during wartime, Harold "Zip" Morgan designed a route that 1960s riders built on. Years later, bicycling enthusiasts worked overtime with local leadership to get a 76-mile route ready for the country's bicentennial, creating the beloved 76 Bike Trail. Join local author Jill Rothenbueler Maher as she uncovers the previously untold stories of a Milwaukee County treasure.

Reviews
"""Maher's concise book (roughly 140 pages of text and 16 pages of illustrations) is truly the seminal work on the Oak Leaf Trail for no other study has tackled the topic before. Even the recently completed Encyclopedia of Milwaukee has entries on bicycling, parks, and land use and planning, but offers no treatment specifically of Milwaukee's foundational and most widely-used recreation infrastructure. For this reason alone, Maher's book should be applauded for filling the gap in our historical understanding and will easily become a favorite read for any Milwaukeean with even a passing interest in bicycling or local history. Following a delightful and mood-setting introduction, Maher's book is organized into three parts. The first of these operates essentially as the core of the study as it uncovers with great care the historical evolution of the Oak Leaf Trail, from its embryonic phase in the late 19th century all the way to contemporary improvements that have been implemented in just the last few years. It is in this part of the book where Maher's attention to detail and skill at crafting a cohesive historical narrative really shine."" Bay View Compass "
