It represented the opulence, power, and greed of 19th-century capitalism. And for many it was statement of hope and motivation. In a short walk, one might run into Andrew Carnegie, Henry Clay Frick, George Westinghouse, H. J. Heinz, a member of the Mellon family or of the United States Congress. This book traces the lives of this influential coterie and their impact on American industry, culture and history. 606 $aIndustries$zPennsylvania$zPittsburgh$xHistory 607 $aPittsburgh (Pa.)$xHistory 615 0$aIndustries$xHistory. 676 $a338.092/274886 700 $aSkrabec$b Quentin R$0876756 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785455103321 996 $aThe world's richest neighborbood$93725355 997 $aUNINA
