With or without the "h"...

November 29, 1881
THE PITTSBURG DISPATCH, Pennsylvania, Nov. 29, 1881 This famous city has had a troubled history with (or without) the "h" in its name. From the earliest years it was spelled "Pittsburgh", but then in 1891 it was formally changed to "Pittsburg" but then again would add the "h" to give us the "Pittsburgh" we know today.
The spelling in this newspaper pre-dates the formal acceptance of "Pittsburg" of 1891.
Various news of the day, disbound, eight pages, untrimmed margins, minor wear.
