  • ALLEGHENY COUNTY As of Friday, May 15, the Following Fine Wine
    As of Friday, May 15, the following Fine Wine & Good Spirits, in counties designated in the yellow phase of COVID-19 mitigation efforts, will reopen to limited in-store public access. The following mitigation efforts will be in place: • Stores will limit the number of customers in a store at a given time, allowing no more than 25 people (employees and customers), and further restricting the number of customers in smaller stores. • The first hour each store is open each day will be reserved for customers at high risk for COVID-19, including those 65 years of age and older. Voluntary compliance from all customers is encouraged in the interest of protecting the health and safety of our most vulnerable community members. • Customers and employees will be required to wear masks and practice social distancing, guided by signage throughout the stores. • Signage will also direct customers to follow one-way patterns to avoid cross-traffic and encourage them to refrain from touching products unless they intend to buy them. • Store employees will perform enhanced and frequent cleaning and disinfecting, and store hours will be modified to ensure appropriate time for cleaning and restocking. Prior to opening to the public, each location was professionally sanitized, and plexiglass was installed at registers to provide a physical barrier between employees and customers at checkout. All Fine Wine & Good Spirits employees are being provided masks, gloves and frequent opportunities to wash hands. Each store reopening to limited public access will continue offering curbside pickup to the best of its staff’s ability. All sales are final.

  • THE CORRESPONDENCE of ISAAC CRAIG DURING the WHISKEY REBELLION Edited by Kenneth A
    "SUCH DISORDERS CAN ONLY BE CURED BY COPIOUS BLEEDINGS": THE CORRESPONDENCE OF ISAAC CRAIG DURING THE WHISKEY REBELLION Edited by Kenneth A. White of the surprisingly underutilized sources on the early history Oneof Pittsburgh is the Craig Papers. Acase inpoint is Isaac Craig's correspondence during the Whiskey Rebellion. Although some of his letters from that period have been published, 1 most have not. This omission is particularly curious, because only a few eyewitness ac- counts of the insurrection exist and most ofthose were written from an Antifederalist viewpoint. These letters have a value beyond the narration of events, how- ever. One of the questions debated by historians is why the federal government resorted to force to put down the insurrection. Many have blamed Alexander Hamilton for the action, attributing it to his per- sonal approach to problems or to his desire to strengthen the central government. 2 These critics tend to overlook one fact : government officials make decisions based not only on their personal philosophy but also on the facts available to them. As a federal officer on the scene, Craig provided Washington and his cabinet with their informa- Kenneth White received his B.A. and M.A.degrees from Duquesne Uni- versity. While working on his master's degree he completed internships with the Adams Papers and the Institute of Early American History and Culture. Mr. White is presently working as a fieldarchivist for the Pennsylvania His- torical and Museum Commission's County Records Survey and Planning Study.— Editor 1 Portions of this correspondence have been published.

  • The Trial of David Bradford by William Cameron © 2019 Page | 1 (A
    The Trial of David Bradford by William Cameron © 2019 P a g e | 1 (A courtroom. The actor portraying Daniel REDICK, in plain contemporary dress, addresses the audience.) REDICK David Bradford got away. The Whiskey Rebellion’s notorious leader escaped and never faced trial for his allegedly treasonous actions during the Insurrection of 1794. According to the tale that everyone tells but no one believes, David Bradford was enjoying the comforts of his palatial home, perhaps enjoying a whiskey, when word came that a cavalry unit with orders to arrest him was just outside the gate. Our intrepid protagonist leapt from a rear second-story window onto his faithful steed who, by some miracle, was not only saddled up and ready to go, but knew just where to stand. David then rode off into the autumn night, the cavalry hot on his trail but clearly no match for his superior horsemanship. (The actor begins to don his costume—suitable for a prominent attorney in 1795 America.) It’s nonsense, of course. In truth, Bradford left town in a most unhurried fashion and traveled in relative comfort on a coal barge down the Ohio River. I’m sure it was a most pleasant voyage. (Beat, as the actor dons his wig, continues to prepare.) I like to believe David Bradford made up that first story himself. It does allow him a mythical status that, perhaps, he deserves. Of course, he could’ve secured that status in another way, and that is what brings us here this evening. Let’s imagine, shall we, that, oh…say, when David Bradford leapt from that rear window, his horse wasn’t quite so accommodating, and the poor man ended up on his seditious backside in the rose bushes.
