But the reality is that Aggie (on a first- name basis with her neighbors and the “powers-that-be”) is still with us, and she will forever be a part of Garfield - the neighborhood that raised her - and its evolution in the city’s East End. Pittsburgh is famous for its distinctive neighborhoods, and the passing down of every local enclave’s lore and legend. Those who grew up in one of these lit- tle communities are familiar with the stories about its leaders, athletes, tough guys, business owners, teachers, minis- ters, and families of every kind - folks ABOVE: Garfield native Aggie Brose stands proud in front of the neighborhood she always supported.

Huston the first shot in the "Great War for Empire" was Althoughfiredin the contest for the Ohio Valley in 1754, the British did not become dominant in this region until four years after the conflict had commenced. Itwas in 1758 that General John Forbes, too illto travel other than on a sling pulled by two horses, succeeded in forcing the French to destroy and evacuate Fort Duquesne (the present site of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), which had been the symbol of French hegemony in the transappalachian region since its erection in 1754. To retain this newly acquired territory under British control, Forbes immediately ordered construction of a new fort which was com- pleted withinsight of the ruins of the French installation. 1 Throughout the remainder of the French and Indian War and until 1772, the British maintained control of this fortress to which General John Stanwix had given the name Fort Pitt.2 With the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1763, and the resulting transfer of a vast expanse of territory to the British,an assessment by Dr. Huston is assistant professor of history at the United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland. In the above article he has given a somewhat different concept of the material included as part of his doctoral dissertation completed at the University of Pittsburgh. —Ed. 1 Two forts were completed by the British at this location after the capture of Fort Duquesne.

Earliest Settlements in the Fifteenth Ward of the City of the Indians
188 Early Settlements in the Fifteenth Ward of Pittsburgh Earliest Settlements in the Fifteenth Ward of the City of Pittsburgh. The Indians were the first occupants and land owners in Western Pennsylvania. They left numerous signs of their presence in what is now the Fifteenth Ward of the cityof Pittsburgh. They had a well-travelled trail along the right bank of the Monongahela at a very early day, and it was over this trail that the French and Indians passed, when they went out from Fort Duquesne, in 1755, and at- tacked and defeated General Braddock and his troops at the Battle of the Monongahela. After the English occupation, this trail became the Braddock's Field public road, and as such is plainly marked on the map of Pittsburgh, in 1795. At the head of Mansion Street, Glenwood, was an an- cient burying ground of that aboriginal tribe known as the Mound Builders. It included several mounds, the largest being about fifteen feet inheight. Their tops were rounded, and the mounds, originally, were heaped with stones, it being the Indian custom to add more stones at each visit. In the seventies, when Second Avenue was paved through the Fifteenth Ward for the first time, James McKibben, who had the contract for grading this street, hauled stones for an entire winter from these old mounds, and used them for ballast. The enveloping cover of stones being removed, persons began exploring the mounds, searching for relics, and they were soon destroyed. No trace of them now re- mains. The cleared spots back in the woods near these mounds were known to the early white settlers as the "Old Fields." Fine forests originally covered this district.

The net elimination of roughly 1 million square feet of retail, office and residential space in the district. The creation of superblocks of government assisted (later government subsidized) rental housing. The elimination of auto traffic and creation of a pedestrian mall on Main Street coordinated with The construction of a State highway“ circle ”around the neighborhood. The creation of huge parking fields on the periphery of the district designed to serve the pedestrian mall. Urban Renewal—End Results: While the project was founded on good intentions, ultimately it did little more than to… üfacilitate traffic around, not through the neighborhood, ücreate roughly 1,000 units of poorly-managed very low income housing in the commercial district, ücreate huge pedestrian disconnects (highway, parking fields…)from stable surrounding neighborhoods, üleave the city, or one of its authorities, owning large tracts of land off the main street (the parking fields).
