- Summary:
- Western Pennsylvania is a product of its geography -- the rivers, the Allegheny mountains, and the resources within. The story of its people is recalled here, from the Whiskey Rebellion, to the "Gateway to the West, " to Carnegie's steel mills, to the recent loss of manufacturing jobs.
