Two spelling variations—Pittsburgh and Pittsburg—appear in this book. Before 1891 and since 1911, the city’s name has been spelled Pittsburgh. Between 1891 and 1911, however, the h was dropped from o≈cial spellings, following regulations of the U.S. Geographic Board of Names to standardize the spelling of various ‘‘burgs’’ in the United States. Throughout the book, I use the full form of the name but retain the shortened form in direct quotations and in the titles of books, pamphlets, and articles published between 1891 and 1911.
