The work chronicles the evolution of Pittsburgh from its founding through pivotal events, highlighting its significance as an industrial hub in America. The narrative intertwines the city's development with its key historical figures, including George Washington, who played a crucial role in establishing its early military significance. At the start of the book, the author sets the stage by discussing Pittsburgh's geographical and strategic importance, particularly through the experiences of George Washington during his early visits in relation to military operations against the French. The opening chapters recount Washington's observations and decisions regarding fortifications at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, laying the groundwork for understanding the city’s eventual prominence. This part of the narrative provides a glimpse into the formative years of Pittsburgh's history, illustrating not only the early confrontations between European powers and American Indian tribes but also Washington's influence in the city's establishment and growth.
