Old World Pittsburgh, Meadowcroft, Atom Smasher, Carnegie, Star Fort Pitt, Oldest Photographs, PA

Howdy ya’ll. Welcome back. Today we will get back to the Old World Series, with a focus on Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. We will take a look at the awesome history of the Native Americans of Pittsburgh, as well as discussing the Meadowcroft Rockshelter, said to be the oldest human inhabitation in all of the “New World”.

We will briefly discuss the rapid growth of Pittsburgh, as well as the great disasters which struck Pittsburgh, including the Great Fire of 1845. We will then look at some of the oldest and most unique photographs I could find of Pittsburgh, including the funiculars, and the Westinghouse Atom Smasher.

This video will consist of 200+ unique images of Old World Pittsburgh, as well as focusing on the story of the current narrative. If anything about the narrative or these images sticks out to you, please let me know in the comments below. If you want to rapidly intake this video, play it at a faster speed, as I’ve been known to talk slow.

I will also leave timestamps down below if you’d like to skip ahead to the Old World Photographs, and simply pause the audio to intake the slideshow at your own rhythm.

Overall, I’m just really happy to share this content, images, and information with you. I love taking these deep dives into the Old World and seeing what sort of new discoveries we can uncover. Please leave your thoughts and comments down below!
