Excerpt from The History of Pittsburgh: Its Rise and Progress
Four years after commencing the task of gathering data, this volume is presented to the public. The history of Pittsburgh is essentially the history of Allegheny county - the greater Pittsburgh. The chief factor in its rise and progress has been manufacturing. All others have been secondary. Whatever has been matured and sent forth from this district has been given what may be called its final touch in Pittsburgh. The city, as the metropolis of the county and the vast busy region adjacent thereto, has stood out in the affairs of the State and nation, and in the history of the world, as a leader in the evolution of the industrial arts for nearly a century. For this reason it has been impossible to confine the treatment to Pittsburgh proper, or to give distinct place to any lesser city or town within the district. Generally, what is written of Pittsburgh will, with very little modification, apply to Allegheny, and so on.
To ensure the best results it has been necessary to divide the work into sections. The chief aim has been to make a readable book, not a biographical work; to make a book of events, which actually constitute the history of Pittsburgh, rather than laudatory accounts of those who played a part therein.
