A Taste of Memories from the Old Bush, Vol. 2: Recipes, Memories & Photographs of the Old Greenbush Neighborhood

Italian immigrants began to arrive in Madison, Wisconsin at the turn of the century & settled in an area called Greenbush. Grapevines & gardens were planted & soon, a neighborhood was established in the ten block triangle referred to as "Little Italy", "Little Sicily", or, more affectionately the "Bush". In 1960, an urban renewal plan called the "Triangle Project" destroyed the entire neighborhood, leaving behind only the roots of grapevines & touching memories. Fifty families shared their recipes, memories & photographs of the old neighborhood in Volume I, published in 1988. One hundred & twenty-five families continue to share in this sequel, Volume II. Both books are in the archives of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin & have stirred emotion in all who have read them & drawn poignant reviews from across the country. Whatever your ancestry, wherever your birthplace, this book will make you feel like you've gone home again to visit a vital part of our heritage. It is a cookbook that reads like a beautiful novel. This soft cover compilation will make you say "Yeah, that's the way it was."
