Early in March, 1865, the folowing statement was furnished by the enrolling officers: H. W. Horbach called for a company. The 4th of March was fixed by the citizens on which to celebrate the glorious victories to the Union armies and the happy prospect of the termination of the war. Flags were everywhere thrown to the breeze, bells were rung and 100 guns were fired from the hill over Bayardstown. In all the churches special thanksgiving services were held. In the evening an immense meeting was held at Fayette Hall. Witty and eloquent speeches were delivered by James Lowry (chairman), A. W. Loomis, John M. Kirkpatrick, Rev. John Douglas and T. J. Bigham, all interspersed with the triumphant notes of National and patriotic airs from bands and glee clubs, In March, 1865, General Sherman, having captured Charleston, placed the city under the command of General Schimmelfennig. "The gallant Dutchman Schimmelfennig Holds Charleston as he would a hen egg; He grabs the traitors by the ear, And brings them to their lager beer. We wish we had a million such men As this bold, rebel-hating Dutchman."--Boston Paper (r). The news of the evacuation of Richmond early in April, 1865, was received here with enthusiastic demonstrations of joy. The message came a few minutes after 11 o'clock on the 3d, and it was then that the enthusiasm of the people reached its zenith. An immense crowd assembled with incredible speed on Fifth Street, and assumed the form of a love feast of joy. The Courthouse bell was furiously rung--not in steady, sober strokes, but in spasmodic, tumultuous peals, now joyous almost to...

Miss Killikelly’s book is more than a history of Pittsburgh, and all but serves as a history of Allegheny County, of which Pittsburgh has long been the metropolis, and which since the creation of the Greater Pittsburgh — brought about since this book was published — stands more than ever as the expression of the civic activities of its adjacent territory. With the chief facts of the early history of Pittsburgh, especially with those that center around Fort Duquesne, most readers of Pennsylvania history are fairly familiar. The story of these early days lose nothing in Miss Killikelly's retelling. Very marvelous, indeed, has been the growth of this great Pennsylvania city. A record of its population in 1761 gives the number of men as 324, the women 92 and children 47, living outside the garrison; the number of houses with owners' names was 220. At this period the town was divided into a Lower and Upper Town; the "King's Gardens" stretching along the Allegheny, with a background of wheatfields. The residence of the commandant, a substantial brick building within the fort, was the most pretentious house. In 1815 the population had increased to nearly 10,000. The subsequent history of this city is too detailed to be summarized. Miss Killikelly tells the story in ample manner, yet without any overloading of unessential facts. Her pages throb with the active, busy life that has made Pittsburgh so pre-eminently a manufacturing center, and she tells the story of its commercial, industrial and cultural progress with the skill of a practiced writer. Pittsburgh is probably the most misunderstood city in the United States, and Miss Killikelly is entitled to cordial thanks for her entirely readable account.

Allegheny City, known today as Pittsburgh's North Side, was the third-largest city in Pennsylvania when it was controversially annexed by the City of Pittsburgh in 1907. Founded in 1787 as a reserve land tract for Revolutionary War veterans in compensation for their service, it quickly evolved into a thriving urban center with its own character, industry, and accomplished residents. Among those to inhabit the area, which came to be known affectionately as "The Ward," were Andrew Carnegie, Mary Cassatt, Gertrude Stein, Stephen Foster, and Martha Graham. Once a station along the underground railroad, home to the first wire suspension bridge, and host to the first World Series, the North Side is now the site of Heinz Field, PNC Park, the Andy Warhol Museum, the National Aviary, and world headquarters for corporations such as Alcoa and the H. J. Heinz Company. Dan Rooney, longtime North Side resident, joins local historian Carol Peterson in creating this highly engaging history of the cultural, industrial, and architectural achievements of Allegheny City from its humble beginnings until the present day. The authors cover the history of the city from its origins as a simple colonial outpost and agricultural center to its rapid emergence alongside Pittsburgh as one of the most important industrial cities in the world and an engine of the American economy. They explore the life of its people in this journey as they experienced war and peace, economic boom and bust, great poverty and wealth—the challenges and opportunities that fused them into a strong and durable community, ready for whatever the future holds. Supplemented by historic and contemporary photos, the authors take the reader on a fascinating and often surprising street-level tour of this colorful, vibrant, and proud place.
