This beautifully illustrated book was published on the occasion of the visit to Pittsburgh in late 1889 by delegates participating in the International American Congress. The Notes present a remarkable account of the national and international business, banking and industries of the city of Pittsburgh at the end of the 1800s. In his book “Congreso Internacional Americano Pittsburgh. Trip of the Delegates. Objectives of the Congress” (New York City Press Asscociation, 1890), Charles A. O’Rourke described the Congress as the “the most important event of the hemisphere this year.” He also noted that “the most eminent men of the Western Continent met for the conference.”
