Synopsis
Excerpt from Pittsburgh Its Industry Commerce, Embracing Statistics of the Coal, Iron, Glass, Steel, Copper, Petroleum, and Other Manufacturing Interests of Pittsburgh
The papers on the various subjects treated of, have been prepared with great care and thoroughness of research. The aim has been to give the truth. Exaggeration would destroy their value, and defeat the purpose contemplated. We think they will justify the conclusion, that from the very nature of things - the logic of facts, as it were - no city in the Union presents such inducements as are set forth by the workshops, the mills, foundries and factories of Pittsburgh. In cheapness of production, in the character of goods and wares, and in accessibility by river and rail to markets, the Iron City challenges the competition of continent.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book showcases Pittsburgh in the 1800s as an industrial city that was central to Western Pennsylvania's natural wealth and transportation. Despite being geographically isolated and disconnected from commercial hubs, Pittsburgh was not only able to manufacture and supply steel, glass, iron, and other goods to its region but also nationally and internationally. The author delves into the evolution of manufacturing in Pittsburgh, from its humble beginnings in the 1810s to its domination of major industries by the 1860s. The chapters provide insights into the invention of tools and machinery, the development of new manufacturing techniques, and the growth of infrastructure that supported the city's transformation into a global manufacturing powerhouse.
