Melissa >>> I saw your post on rootsweb about books on Greensburg history and postcards..... below is some material about a book that I wrote on Greensburg's industrial past. I have a website where you can find out about the book http://james-miller.org A book has been published on the Greensburg Area’s industrial past. My website can fill you in on details about how to get the book. http://james-miller.org about the book: Greensburg PA: The Other Side of the Tracks by Jim Miller, 2003/ available at Tommy's Bookshelf: 121 W. Pittsburgh St. / Greensburg PA 15601 724-834 4556 A New book on railroad-era Greensburg focuses on the productive energies of the area that propelled the Westmoreland County Seat out of the agricultural era and into 19th century machine age industrialism. With the demise of the infrastructure of the industrial era, much of the lore and legend of that era is vanishing with it. This book is an attempt to capture the remaining ‘parts and pieces’ of the story of Greensburg Area industry. Along with an investigation of the sites of production, and the stories and data that shed light upon them, individuals and families that participated in the movement to industrial expansion are explored. The book is well indexed to give access to the people who were a part of railroad-era Greensburg. This along with an annotated Table of Contents make the book a useful tool for students of the town’s past, and people exploring their family’s roots. Several parts of the book are walking tours of the town that can be followed on foot to good advantage. Sections on the Southwest Branch RR follow the Five Star Hiking Trail along a stretch of railroad that was once the scene of the area’s greatest productive vitality. Abundant maps and illustrations in the form of drawings and photos keep the reader well-posted as to specific locations in the present, and what these locations looked like ‘once upon a time’. The author has [2001] published a book on Cambria County PA. He does field work in archaeology, and has done archival work for various cultural resource management firms. He is an exhibiting painter and printmaker, and has taught art on the college level. Many of the illustrations and maps in the book are by him. ------------------------------------------------------------- hi all.......
