Pittsburgh

The Story of a City, 1780-1865

By Leland D. Baldwin
A good piece of Americana. It is the kind of book a historian will like, and the ordinary reader will find it solid hard-hitting history.

The standard history of Pittsburgh tells the city’s story from its violent days as an eighteenth-century outpost of empire to the onset of its great age of industrial expansion.

More Praise

An absorbing story. . . . It provides in brief compass a 'vivid movie' of the city's past with due regard for the relative importance of people, events, and the growths of neighborhoods.
