Pittsburgh's heritage
"First Mining of Pittsburgh coal:
This State's bituminous coal industry was born about 1760 on Coal Hill, now Mount Washington. Here the Pittsburgh coal bed was mined to supply Fort Pitt. This was eventually to be judged the most valuable individual mineral deposit in the U.S."
No wonder Pittsburgh became such a wealthy city.
My friends and I didn't spend much time in Pittsburgh at all. I hope to return to Pittsburgh for a proper visit in a few years.
If you like what you're seeing, I recommend you to take a look of my friend Brandon's photoset of the beautiful city via this link:
