The article presents an examination into the history of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as a frontier settlement and its establishment as a dominant industrial center rather than a river-trading port in the 19th century. Comments are given by the author regarding his own historical studies and that of Richard C. Wade's book "The Urban Frontier: The Rise of Western Cities, 1790-1830," particularly highlighting the influence of Wade's theory concerning small towns as the beginning phase of western settlement. Assertions are made that the early history of Pittsburgh determined its industrial and economic stance for over a century to follow.
