Excerpt from Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 34: January 15, 1899
It is interesting to read of the Tahi tians of that early day. One writer de scribes the men as tall, strong and finely shaped. The women of superior rank are above the middle stature of Euro peans, but the inferior class are rather below it. The complexion of the former is that which we call brunette, and the skin is delicately smooth and soft. 'the shape of the mouth is comely; the nose is a little, but not much, flattened; their eyes are full of expression; their teeth are even and white. Their walk is graceful and their deportment to stran gers and to each other affable and courteous.
Captain Cook says: The natives, both men and women, wash their bodies in running water three times a day, and their clothes as well as their persons are kept without spot or stain.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the rise of the industrial city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, a city built on the production of coal and iron. The author describes how the convergence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers in Pittsburgh led to the city's strategic location as a trading post, a fort, and later as a transportation hub for the coal and iron industries. The book details how the city's growth and prosperity were fueled by these industries, attracting immigrants and leading to a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization. The author explores the social and economic consequences of this growth, including the rise of labor unions and the impact of industrialization on the city's landscape and environment. This book provides a comprehensive examination of the factors that shaped Pittsburgh's development and the ways in which the city's industrial heritage has left a lasting legacy on its identity and culture.
