Reviews
"A sparkling new take on everyone's favorite Rust Belt metropolis."--Justin Velluci, Jewish Chronicle, "[A] rich and idiosyncratic history.... Simon marshals his historical snapshots into an incisive survey of the region and its inhabitants. Even Pittsburgh history buffs will learn something new."-- Publishers Weekly, "Simon tells the story of the city and all the changes that made it what it is today in a way that's entirely new, by the hand of someone who is deeply familiar. Simon shines a light on things often forgotten, and uncovers untold stories in the process."--Juliana Rose Pignataro, " Newsweek 's 21 Best Books to Read This Spring", "[An] epic, atomic history of the Steel City....In its panoramic vision, if not in its length, it resembles most John Dos Passos's U.S.A. trilogy.... Despite the conspicuous "history" in its title, and despite Simon's evident rigor, An Alternative History of Pittsburgh is a work of literature, a series of linked creative nonfiction essays, an historical story cycle."--Phillip Maciak, Los Angeles Review of Books, "An idiosyncratic and fresh look at the geological, social, and industrial origins of the Steel City."--Lily Eckimian, The PGHer

Synopsis
Ed Simon tells the story of Pittsburgh through this exploration of its hidden histories--the LA Review of Books calls it an "epic, atomic history of the Steel City." The land surrounding the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio rivers has supported communities of humans for millennia. Over the past four centuries, however, it has been transformed countless times by the many people who call it home. In this brief, lyrical, and idiosyncratic collection, Ed Simon, a staff writer at The Millions , follows the story of America's furnace through a series of interconnected segments, covering all manner of Pittsburgh-beloved people, places, and things, including: * Paleolithic Pittsburgh * The Whiskey Rebellion * The attempted assassination of Henry Frick * The Harmonists * The Mystery, Pittsburgh's radical, Black nationalist newspaper * The myth of Joe Magarac * Billy Strayhorn, Duke Ellington, Andy Warhol, and much, much more. Accessible and funny, An Alternative History of Pittsburgh is a must-read for anyone curious about this storied city, and for Pittsburghers who think they know it all too well already., Ed Simon tells the story of Pittsburgh through this exploration of its hidden histories--the LA Review of Books calls it an epic, atomic history of the Steel City.
