""From Source to City is a wonderfully personal and eminently readable exploration of the Milwaukee River, Menomonee River, and Kinnickinnic River. Part history book, part travel journal, part memoir, and part poetry, Tim John connects the rivers' past and present and makes them highly relatable to residents of Greater Milwaukee today."" - Michael Barera, MSI, CA, Assistant Archivist & Digitization Specialist at the Milwaukee County Historical Society ""Congratulations, Tim, on publication of your massive and thoroughly researched book on Milwaukee's three rivers. This fascinating book will stand the test of time. A century from now, people who want to know their stories will have your book to savor I was particularly impressed with the stunning quality of your photographs. I have never seen a book whose illustrations achieved such a high standard of clarity."" - Thomas Cannon, Retired lawyer and historian
