Item description from seller

nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - On 10 April 1845, Pittsburgh caught fire, and the record of a day of ruin was written almost at once. A city burns; names remain.J. Heron Foster's A Full Account Of The Great Fire At Pittsburgh is an eyewitness fire narrative with the urgency of a newspaper extra and the permanence of a primary source document. Part historical disaster pamphlet, part civic ledger, it traces the pittsburgh great fire as it moved through streets and businesses, then turns to what disaster leaves behind: property loss listings that map livelihoods to addresses, and the relief fund donations that reveal how neighbours, firms, and institutions tried to rebuild a shaken town. For readers of pittsburgh 1845 history and antebellum pennsylvania, it is local history reference at street level; for anyone fascinated by american urban fire history, it shows how quickly a modernising city could be undone.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. Use it as a genealogy research resource to follow family names through loss and contribution, or as an archival reprint edition to sit beside other nineteenth-century accounts of catastrophe. More than statistics, it is a portrait of resilience, captured in lists, appeals, and hard-won totals. Its plain, brisk prose rewards casual readers, while collectors of Pittsburghiana and classic Americana will value the pamphlet's documentary weight and enduring human scale in print.
