Why do the dead still haunt Milwaukee?
The area that was once called Milloke was also a charnel house where brave natives fought savagely for every inch of. This was a prized piece of soil where armies and indigenous groups – dozens of tribes and hundreds of French and Europeans – battled it out in close quarter combat. From Lake Michigan to Green Bay to Milwaukee, battles ranged and the ground was soaked with the blood and tears of warriors from every land. Come sunset those spirits seem to rejoin the fray in legendary bloody contests such as The Black Hawk War, the battle of the Monogahela, The American Revolutionary War.
Years before the visitors came to the area and decades before brew masters, smugglers, mobsters, and serial killers haunted the streets of this burgeoning metropolis, the shores of Milwaukee were baptized in blood and tragedy. Learn the history of its christening —from the terrible carnage of nighttime raids and sneak attacks to arson fires that set hotels ablaze and created a mob of scorched phantoms.
