Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allegheny City, known today as Pittsburgh's North Side, was the third-largest city in Pennsylvania when it was controversially annexed by the City of Pittsburgh in 1907. Founded in 1787 as a reserve land tract for Revolutionary War veterans in compensation for their service, it quickly evolved into a thriving urban center with its own character, industry, and accomplished residents. Among those to inhabit the area, which came to be known affectionately as "The Ward," were Andrew Carnegie, Mary Cassatt, Gertrude Stein, Stephen Foster, and Martha Graham. Once a station along the underground railroad, home to the first wire suspension bridge, and host to the first World Series, the North Side is now the site of Heinz Field, PNC Park, the Andy Warhol Museum, the National Aviary, and world headquarters for corporations such as Alcoa and the H. J. Heinz Company. Dan Rooney, longtime North Side resident, joins local historian Carol Peterson in creating this highly engaging history of the cultural, industrial, and architectural achievements of Allegheny City from its humble beginnings until the present day. The authors cover the history of the city from its origins as a simple colonial outpost and agricultural center to its rapid emergence alongside Pittsburgh as one of the most important industrial cities in the world and an engine of the American economy. They explore the life of its people in this journey as they experienced war and peace, economic boom and bust, great poverty and wealth—the challenges and opportunities that fused them into a strong and durable community, ready for whatever the future holds. Supplemented by historic and contemporary photos, the authors take the reader on a fascinating and often surprising street-level tour of this colorful, vibrant, and proud place.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Complete History of the City of Allegheny in Pennsylvania: 1740 to 1890 By Carl Wilhelm Preface I have not undertaken to write a critical history of the City of Allegheny. What I attempted to do was to write a historical narrative, believing that form best suited to the occasion. In fact, no other style of history could be made interesting in this case. Had I been writing the history of a city of national importance or great antiquity, the case would have been different. The events narrated in the following pages can only be of local interest, and if I have succeeded in making them interesting and in a measure instructive, my task has been accomplished. It may be objected that I have given too much space to tradition and personal adventure. To this I answer that Walter Scott's novels are a better history of Scotland than has ever been written of that country. While most of these characters are imaginary and the events made to suit his purpose, he draws a true picture of the people, customs and institutions of his country, a picture that impresses itself much more readily on the mind of the reader than pages of lifeless facts and figures. I mention this not because I wish to make any comparison between that great author's work and my own humble performance, hut simply to show that by coloring, that is by giving life and interest to minor events, history is made palatable to the general reader, without in the least detracting from its intrinsic value. The early history of Allegheny abounds in material from which a historical romance, say on the Cooper style, could be constructed, and I shall always regret that I wasted my opportunity. It was a real pity to be obliged to kill off such a hero as Andrew Long in the second chapter, when he might have been put through many more thrilling adventures and hair-breadth escapes, Finally to die of old age, bedded on the two or three hundred Iroquois scalps which he had taken to avenge the cruel death of his mother at the hand of the savages of that tribe. It would have been much more interesting had Mrs. Russel and her children been rescued at the last moment, instead of allowing them to be massacred by the Indians. The plaintive lowing of the cow, when that affectionate brute found it was left behind, alone in the wilderness, could have attracted a party of trappers, to appear upon the scene just in time to save Mrs. Russel and the little ones. In that case all the savages, with one exception, would have been made to bite the dust, and that one sent home without ears as a terrible warning to the rest of his tribe. Or Samuel Bendei and his two companions might have arrived twenty-four hours earlier at the deserted cabin, accompanied by a band of friendly... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
Download or read book The History of Pittsburgh written by Sarah Hutchins Killikelly and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 1906 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Miss Killikelly’s book is more than a history of Pittsburgh, and all but serves as a history of Allegheny County, of which Pittsburgh has long been the metropolis, and which since the creation of the Greater Pittsburgh — brought about since this book was published — stands more than ever as the expression of the civic activities of its adjacent territory. With the chief facts of the early history of Pittsburgh, especially with those that center around Fort Duquesne, most readers of Pennsylvania history are fairly familiar. The story of these early days lose nothing in Miss Killikelly's retelling. Very marvelous, indeed, has been the growth of this great Pennsylvania city. A record of its population in 1761 gives the number of men as 324, the women 92 and children 47, living outside the garrison; the number of houses with owners' names was 220. At this period the town was divided into a Lower and Upper Town; the "King's Gardens" stretching along the Allegheny, with a background of wheatfields. The residence of the commandant, a substantial brick building within the fort, was the most pretentious house. In 1815 the population had increased to nearly 10,000. The subsequent history of this city is too detailed to be summarized. Miss Killikelly tells the story in ample manner, yet without any overloading of unessential facts. Her pages throb with the active, busy life that has made Pittsburgh so pre-eminently a manufacturing center, and she tells the story of its commercial, industrial and cultural progress with the skill of a practiced writer. Pittsburgh is probably the most misunderstood city in the United States, and Miss Killikelly is entitled to cordial thanks for her entirely readable account.
