About the author
The credited “author” here is the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a long-running local chapter of the NSDAR in Pennsylvania. Sources about the chapter describe more than 125 years of service in the Pittsburgh area, with work centered on historic preservation, education, and patriotism.
The chapter is closely tied to the preservation of the Fort Pitt Block House, and its publications focused on documenting early Pittsburgh history. The group is credited with Fort Duquesne and Fort Pitt; Early Names of Pittsburgh Streets, a historical work that has been preserved by Project Gutenberg and library collections.
Because this is an organization rather than an individual author, there is no single personal life story to tell here. Readers can best think of it as a civic-minded historical society whose books grew out of research and preservation work in and around Pittsburgh.
