Pittsburgh : a sketch of its early social life by Charles W. Dahlinger
"Pittsburgh: A Sketch of Its Early Social Life" by Charles W. Dahlinger is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the development of social life in Pittsburgh from its inception, detailing the effects of significant historical events such as the French and Indian War, the American Revolution, and the early stages of American settlement. Its primary focus is on the cultural and social dynamics that shaped the
community during its formative years. The opening of the book introduces the reader to the initial social conditions in Pittsburgh, emphasizing the absence of a structured society due to conflicts with local Native American tribes. Dahlinger discusses how early settlers, influenced by military and trade, laid the groundwork for Pittsburgh’s eventual growth as a prominent location following the end of open conflict. He highlights the establishment of educational institutions, the formation of communal structures, and the emergence of social organizations, painting a vivid picture of a vibrant yet chaotic early community.
