Good overview of young Pittsburghers in the 1850s.

[Marjorie Wertz · Rating 2 out of 5]

You can tell this book was originally written in 1948. Very much like Horatio Alger books.

[Laura M. · Rating 4 out of 5]

Young adult but really interesting view of 1850 Pittsburgh.

[Kathy · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a favorite as a young teen. It encouraged me to see the main character taking control despite the challenges of leading her younger siblings (As her parents are deceased). It's set in the 1800's I believe, and she desperately wants to give her younger brother the ability to have an apprenticeship learning to blow glass creations. They move to a shack outside Pittsburg, PA where they have a beautiful view of the three rivers in that area.
