To trace a city's rise from frontier outpost to industrial powerhouse, begin with its people. In Volume II of A Century and a Half of Pittsburg and Her People, John Newton Boucher turns from broad narrative to the men and women whose lives shaped 18th and 19th century Pittsburgh and Allegheny County. These lives still feel close. Drawing on original records and local memory, Boucher assembles a biographical and genealogical compendium of Pittsburgh founding families, Allegheny County pioneers, civic leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals and cultural figures. The result is a classic Pittsburgh history book that doubles as a meticulous Pittsburgh historical reference and a rich resource for family historians and anyone engaged in western Pennsylvania genealogy research. Set against the backdrop of industrial and civic development, each life-sketch illuminates the wider history of Allegheny County and its place within Pennsylvania local history and the broader 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. This careful modern edition invites casual readers to wander through long-vanished streets and parlours, while giving researchers and collectors of classic local history a dependable reference text to consult again and again. For those who wish to understand how modern Pittsburgh emerged from its early households, businesses and institutions, Volume II remains an indispensable historical companion.
