Inhaltsangabe:

Western Pennsylvania is a product of its geography-the rivers, the Allegheny mountains, and the resources within. The story of its people is recalled here, from the Whiskey Rebellion, to the "Gateway to the West," to Carnegie's steel mills, to the recent loss of manufacturing jobs.

Personal and business histories combine to tell why Pittsburgh has been the focus of so many important industries and events. Many of the artifacts illustrated are drawn from an accompanying exhibit at the Pittsburgh Regional History Center.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor: Paul Roberts is former editor of Western Pennsylvania History magazine. He has since built and operates Deep Creek Cellars winery, and has written about his experiences in From This Hill, My Hand, Cynthiana's Wine.
