"Few Pittsburghers realize that their city is one of the five most important historic points in the nation, or that it has ever been a hot bed of rebellion and a cradle of mighty men. Few know that a Pittsburgher broke Pickett's charge at Gettysburg, that a Pittsburgher preached Lincoln's funeral sermon, that Pittsburgh's strikes and riots have been the nation's most severe, or that in 1856 the First Republican National Convention was held in Pittsburgh, and there Horace Greeley said, 'Let us deliberate without haste. The future welfare of this union depends upon the action of this body.'" The dust jacket has some chipping along the spine and edges, but is fully intact. This edition includes "Thrilling tales of Morgan's raid, Mad Anthony Wayne, General Braddock, and John Brown."
