Sobre IBD

From rugged frontier outpost to industrial powerhouse, Pittsburgh reshaped both a landscape and a nation. History lives in these pages. In History Of Pittsburgh And Environs (Volume III), noted historian George T. Fleming continues his detailed portrait of historic Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, following the growth of the city and its surrounding communities as they emerge from early Pittsburgh settlements into a complex urban region. Fleming traces the development of Pittsburgh city and Allegheny County, PA history through its people, institutions and landmarks, shaping a pittsburgh local history volume that serves as both dependable reference and vivid narrative for anyone drawn to western Pennsylvania.As an American regional history book and western Pennsylvania history reference, Volume III offers context for streets, neighbourhoods and family names that still define the city, becoming a valuable resource for local historians as well as readers engaged in genealogy and hometown research. Its careful chronicle of civic life, commerce and pittsburgh industrial heritage anchors the wider Pittsburgh history volume set and holds an important place within any serious Pennsylvania county histories collection. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today’s and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector’s item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for curious readers of city history and for dedicated collectors of classic local studies.
