Milwaukee Mayhem

From murder and matchstick men to all-consuming fires, painted women, and Great Lakes disasters, Milwaukee Mayhem: Murder and Mystery in the Cream City's First Century uncovers the little-remembered and rarely told history of the underbelly of this  Midwestern metropolis. Author Matthew J. Prigge will present these stories as they were recounted to the public in the newspapers of the era, using the vivid and often grim language of the times to create an engaging and occasionally chilling narrative of a forgotten Milwaukee. Time will be allotted for Q&A, with a book sale and signing to immediately follow.
