I'm interested in this book as I use to live in Waukesha County. I did as you said, and my message came up, even in the Advanced Search as "Sorry, no results were found.

The Heritage Guidebook (mrfrank@uwm.edu) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sun, 18 Mar 2007 23:26:43 -0500 From: mrfrank@uwm.edu Subject: [WIMILWAU] The Heritage Guidebook To: "WIMILWAU@rootsweb.com" <WIMILWAU@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <1174278403.45fe11038c158@panthermail.uwm.edu> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Today I found a book I hadn't seen before. It's called "The Heritage Guidebook" (1989 edition) and I was able to purchase it from Schwartz Bookstore for only $4.99. It's a hardcover with over 400 pages and 968 black and white photos of landmarks and historical sites in Southeastern Wisconsin. Three photos/descriptions on most pages: pp1-182 - Milwaukee County pp183-234 - Ozaukee County pp235-272 - Washington County pp273-342 - Waukesha County pp343-404 - Racine County The index is alphabetical by county. "The Heritage Guidebook" by H. Russell Zimmerman (Schwartz Bookshop) A. David Schwartz rescued this book from obscurity years ago and it is still readily available at bargain prices at Schwartz shops. The subtitle, "Landmarks and Historical Sites in Southeastern Wisconsin," pretty much says it all, but Zimmerman's work is the bible of Milwaukee architecture and is essential. If you want to get a copy, they seemed to have many (at least 30-40). You can order them through their website: www.schwartzbooks.com Type the title in the search box and a photo of the book will come up. I have no financial interest in this; just thought it would be a good resource for genealogists. There are many photos of churches and early businesses. mrf ------------------------------ To contact the WIMILWAU list administrator, send an email to WIMILWAU-admin@rootsweb.com.
