Synopses & Reviews
Clarke Thomas has compiled a two-hundred-year history of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, the first paper published west of the Alleghenies. From the Whiskey Rebellion to the present, the stories the paper covered reveal the history of Pittsburgh and the people who live there.
About the Author
"Details the paper's history from its start in 1786 through wars, publishers, changing politics, journalistic evolutions, suffrage, and a strike that held a mirror to Pittsburgh. We realize, through this book, how the written news acts as a constant to the readers of a sometimes uncertain region. . . . Take the insider journey, you'll find a renewed sense of respect for the paper that made the trip."
