Testimonials
Reasons you're IN good hands with us
You may end up beaming with joy to know that you attended Dan Rooney’s alma mater or grew up in the same neighborhood where congressman Ron Paul was raised. Despite the grand name-dropping, this book proudly puts Pittsburgh on the modest, yet ambitious pedestal it was always meant to rest on.
- PITTSBURGH COURIER
Pittsburgh Born, Pittsburgh Bred
It is excellent reading; and brings back so many memories of the Burgh. There is an overwhelming number of Pittsburghers who made contributions in every sector and every part of our lives not just in Pgh but thru-out the USA. It is a great book for reading casually many times over.
- AMAZON REVIEWER

This book is beautifully written and organized into bite-sized chunks that tell you something new on every page. It explains the depreciation land settlements to the 21st century reader in a way that is riveting. This carefully researched work is a good book for people interested in the development of Pennsylvania.
