Summary: "The rural West has had many historians. Its growth, influence and importance are well known. Yet it is not always understood that almost from the very beginning there was also an urban West. In fact, Pittsburgh, St.Louis, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Lexington were laid out and settlement begun before the surrounding area had fallen to the plow. From the earliest days they became centers of economic activity for the whole region, the focuses of cultural life, and scenes of great social change. Built on the spine of the new country, the Ohio Valley, the towns gave a stimulus and sophisication to a young, raw society.This volume attempts to tell the story of the first decades of the urban West. It is written largely out of the newspapers, records, and manuscripts of contemporaries, and as often as possible in their own words." [from the preface]
