Showing Resurrecting Allegheny City : the land, structures & people of Pittsburgh's North Side by Lisa A. Miles

Though now part of Pittsburgh for 100 years, the indelible identity of Allegheny City hangs as a mist over the North Side - for homeowners, historians, and visitors that today see the modern spectacles set on the land's age-old stage. This portrait of a place tells a tale beginning with natives and earliest time, traces land-plot histories, shows a forward-moving society still centered around a 1790s town square, presents life within pre-twentieth century homes, and even addresses modern homesteaders successfully battling challenges at the new millennium. It will educate and entertain about the goings-on centuries ago in this illustrious southwestern Pennsylvanian city.
