My family moved there in September of 1957 and I left my parents house on Lawrence Avenue in 1971 when I married. I always thought that it was a great place to live and raise children. It was a safe neighborhood where everyone knew each other, everyone seemed to be related to at least one other family on the Hill {if not three or four}. There was never a lack of playmates. Nor was there a lack of things to do. We had at lease two ball fields when I was growing up there, wooded areas surrounding the entire hill and stretching out along the Workhouse Farm from Montrose Hill to the hill overlooking Fox Chapel High School, the Allegheny River at the bottom of Powers Run Road, Blawnox within easy walking distance and bus service at the bottom of the Hill that gave us access to East Liberty and downtown Pittsburgh. I am an engineer by profession but have always been interested in history. I have worked with the Monroeville Historical Society {I have lived in Monroeville PA since 1975} and was coordinator of their oral history program. I always wanted to work on a history of Montrose Hill and the immediate surrounding area. When we were growing up on Montrose Hill, the playground and ball field that is now Raymond Schafer Park did not yet exist. If fact, there was an old reservoir located where the basketball court and playground are now. No one knew why it was there or who put it in, much less when. Some kids claimed that they found Indian arrow heads in the reservoir, but I never saw any. Most of the houses on the Hill were new when I was a child, being built {and a good many, if not most, were owner built} in the 1950s and early 1960s. There were, however, a few older houses that gave a hint that there were some people living there decades earlier. And then there was River Road. Some of the buildings down there looked as if they were “a hundred years old”. Also, there were several ruins there of what appeared to be substantial structures long since abandoned. We never considered this area to be part of the “Hill”. It never occurred to us that the Hill was actually an just an extension of the earlier village of Montrose that ran along River Road and, slowly with time, crept up the hill one house at a time, until it exploded with new construction in the post-World War II era.. No great battles ever took place on the Hill. Washington never camped out on the overlook in the bend of the Allegheny River. The Hill itself was essentially farm and grazing land that transitioned into a suburb after the Second World War. However, that does not mean that there is no history associated with the Hill and the surrounding area. Due to the nature of the community during most of its history {farms and houses}, we must consider the adjoining areas of Powers Run, the Allegheny County Workhouse {RIDC}, the village of Montrose {River Road}, the village of Hoboken {Blawnox} and probably the area as far as Ross Farms (Delafield Estate, Aspinwall} as the region that impacted the people of Montrose Hill on a daily basis and as essential to understanding the history of the Hill. Therefore, this is the region that I will cover in this work. I have one last remark. This is not intended to be a comprehensive history. Instead, it is meant to bring together, in what is hopefully a readable and entertaining form, various items related to the region around Montrose of which I have researched over the last few decades. Dan Nowak January 17, 2012 Copyright 2012, Daniel C. Nowak, Jr. Introduction A Note on Sources and Future Additions An excellent history of O’Hara Township was published in 2008 entitled "Portrait of an American Community". The book is now available at the Township office. Books are also available at the Heinz History Center Bookstore located at 1212 Smallman Street, Pittsburgh This author strongly suggests that the reader first read the O’Hara history book before tackling this work. As I mentioned, this work is an attempt to compile all the information that I have been able to collect over a three decade period so that others interested in the local history of south-east O’Hara Township can enjoy it. It should be considered as a compliment and supplement to the O’Hara Township history book. As concerns the source of the information, the work has two basic parts. The information on the nineteenth century came from three sources. The first is the United States Census records for 1870. The author searched the records available at the Carnegie Library main branch in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh, printed each page and then retyped the entries into a Word document. The second source is a series of maps that the author collected through the years. Unfortunately, the exact sources for each map has been lost through the years, but they include the Library of Congress, The Carnegie Library main branch and the map collection of the University of Pittsburgh’s “Historic Pittsburgh” project, available on the Internet by searching “Historic Pittsburgh”. Since I am unsure of the origins and copyright owners of these maps, I sketched only the small section related to this work and made no attempt to include any portions of the original. The third source for the nineteenth century information was a series of subject searches of the texts available on the University of Pittsburgh’s “Historic Pittsburgh” website. Regarding the twentieth century, I also used several sources, including the 1900, 1910 and 1920 United States censuses, and maps from the same sources listed above and additional subject searches of the “Historic Pittsburgh” site specifically and the Internet in general. Additionally, and this is the most important original material contribution to history that this work is making, are a series of oral history interviews that the author conducted between 1986 and 2005. To repeat, this is not a complete work and the author welcomes the efforts of any persons of a kindred spirit that would like to expand on this work, such as additional research involving sources that the author did not explore {legal records, special library collections, etc.} and additional interviews of people who have personal experiences related to Montrose Hill. But, for now, what follows it the best that I have to share. Dan Nowak January 17, 2012 Copyright 2012, Daniel C. Nowak, Jr. Introduction GENERAL NOTATIONS NOTE: A copyright is claimed on this work.

  • Left Logstown, Near the Present Site of An> Bridge, Pennsylvania, On
    FROM LOGSTOWN TO VENANGO WITH GEORGE WASHINGTON1 W. WALTER BRAHAM Washington left Logstown, near the present site of An> Georgebridge, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, November 30, 1753, and arrived at Venango, now Franklin, Pennsylvania, on Tuesday, Decem- ber 4. His route between these two points has been the subject of much speculation. Washington's biographers, from John Marshall, who blandly assumes that he went up the Allegheny River, to the late Doug- las Southall Freeman, who traced his route through Branchton inButler County, all adopt without comment the theory of a journey by a direct route from Logstown to Venango by way of Murderingtown. Dr. Free- man's recent and excellent volumes on "Young Washington'' give present point to the inquiry. The first-hand evidence on the trip of Washington to Fort Le Boeuf is of course in the diaries of Washington and of his companion, Christopher Gist, and the map of western Pennsylvania and Virginia believed to have been prepared by Washington himself and now lodged in the British Museum. 2 The diary entries are brief and may be quoted in full. Washington's diary entries concerning this part of his trip are: [Nov.] 30th. We set out about 9 o-Clock with the Half-King, Jeska- kake, White Thunder, and the Hunter; and travelled on the Road to Venango, where we arrived the 4th of December, without any Thing remarkable happening but a continued Series of bad Weather.

  • Iroquois Council: Choosing Sides
    1 Revolutionary War Unit Iroquois Council: Choosing Sides TIME AND GRADE LEVEL One 45 or 50 minute class period in Grade 4 through 8. PURPOSE AND CRITICAL ENGAGEMENT QUESTIONS History is the chronicle of choices made by actors/agents/protagonists who, in very specific contexts, unearth opportunities and inevitably encounter impediments. During the Revolutionary War people of every stripe navigated turbulent waters. As individuals and groups struggled for their own survival, they also shaped the course of the nation. Whether a general or a private, male or female, free or enslaved, each became a player in a sweeping drama. The instructive sessions outlined here are tailored for upper elementary and middle school students, who encounter history most readily through the lives of individual historical players. Here, students actually become those players, confronted with tough and often heart-wrenching choices that have significant consequences. History in all its complexity comes alive. It is a convoluted, thorny business, far more so than streamlined timelines suggest, yet still accessible on a personal level to students at this level. In this simulation, elementary or middle school students convene as an Iroquois council in upstate New York, 1777. British agents are trying to convince Iroquois nations to take their side in the Revolutionary War. They come with a lavish display of gifts. True to Iroquois tradition, women as well as men attend this council. Each student assumes the persona of a young warrior, mother, older sachem, etc. The class is presented with relevant factors to consider—the numbers, strength, and allegiances of nearby white settlers; the decisions that other Native nations have made; the British promise that Native people west of the Appalachian Mountains can keep their land.

    Up Front Innovators By Alfred N. Mann Petroleum Pioneers In 1859 Edwin Drake first applied well- drilling technology to produce significant quantities of crude petroleum at Titusville, Pennsylvania.1-10 Few realize, however, that Samuel Kier had refined crude oil in Pittsburgh by distillation five years earlier than Drake. Kier’s primary product was kerosene, a clean burning lamp fuel. To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the drilling of the Drake well, the American Chemical Society (ACS) will present a National Historical Chemical Landmark award commemorating Samuel Kier’s work in Pittsburgh on August 26, and another to the Drake Well Museum at Titusville on August 27. Today’s extensive worldwide petroleum industry is a direct outgrowth of the efforts of Drake and Kier, first demonstrated in Western Pennsylvania. Here’s a primer on these two and some other pioneers of the oil industry: Petroleum (literally, “rock oil”) had been gathered at numerous natural seeps for hundreds of years.

  • The Plight and the Bounty: Squatters, War Profiteers, and the Transforming Hand of Sovereignty in Indian Country, 1750-1774
    The Plight and the Bounty: Squatters, War Profiteers, and the Transforming Hand of Sovereignty in Indian Country, 1750-1774 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Melissah J. Pawlikowski Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. John L. Brooke, Advisor Dr. Lucy Murphy Dr. Margaret Newell Copyright by Melissah J. Pawlikowski 2014 Abstract “The Plight and the Bounty: Squatters, War Profiteers & the Transforming Hand of Sovereignty in the Indian Country, 1750-1774” explores the creation of a European & Indian commons in the Ohio Valley as well as an in-depth examination of the network of interethnic communities and a secondary economic system created by refugee Euroamerican, Black, and Indian inhabitants. Six elements of creolization—the fusion of language, symbols, and legal codes; the adoption of material goods; and the exchange of labor and knowledge—resulted in ethnogenesis and a local culture marked by inclusivity, tolerance, and a period of peace. Finally this project details how, in the absence of traditional power brokers, Indians and Europeans created and exchanged geopolitical power between local Indians and Euroamericans as a method of legitimizing authority for their occupation of the Ohio Valley. ii Vita 2005 ...............................................................
