Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1907 was one of the great industrial cities of the country, where the confluence of the Allegheny, Monongahela and Ohio rivers made it a center for steel, iron, glass, coal and heavy manufacturing. Mills along the rivers ran day and night, and the smoke from their furnaces was so heavy that residents often lit lamps at midday. The city's population had climbed past 320,000 by the early 1900s, drawing immigrants from Central and Southern Europe to work in the mills and mines. Andrew Carnegie's steel empire was at its height, and the wealth it produced was visible in the stone churches, office blocks and bridges that crowded the riverfronts and hillsides.
