Greensburgh (PA) (Postcard History Series) by Rachel Smith
Named for the late Gen. Nathaniel Greene and serving as the county seat of Westmoreland County, Greensburg has a history over 200 years in the making. By 1850, Greensburg was a growing county seat with inns, small businesses, and hardworking residents. With the coming of the Pennsylvania Railroad, the discovery of large areas of coal nearby, and the Lincoln Highway running through the heart of town, Greensburg soon became a large prosperous community and a center for commercial activity. Featuring more than 100 years of postcards, Greensburg showcases the city s sprawling homes, churches, schools, industry, and daily life.
Smith, Rachel E.: - Rachel E. Smith is a member of the Westmoreland County Historical Society and author of Greensburg, in Arcadia Publishing's Postcard History Series. A local history aficionado, she has drawn from both her own postcard collection and that of another local collector to chronicle the history of these two dynamic communities.
