Description

336 pages. Index, selected bibliography, notes and appendices. Archival black and white illustrations and maps throughout. Author's signature atop title page. "Pittsburgh is surrounded by history. The Rideau Canal, built 1826-1832, forms its western boundary; the mighty St. Lawrence River, gateway to the North American Continent, lies to the south. Its south-western tip contains the Military Reserve, established in 1783, the site of Royal Military College, founded 1876 (formerly the Naval Dockyard 1788-1853), Fort Henry, first built during the war of 1812-1814, and a vast modern military complex covering over 2,000 acres." - from dust jacket. Light wear to clean unmarked book which is leaning moderately. Average wear and several closed tears on dust jacket which is now preserved in a glossy new archival-grade Brodart cover. Overall a sound copy. Book
