With or without the "h"...



Item # 697696

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.
