Publisher Description
A Little Girl in Old Pittsburg is a novel for children set in late 18th century Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania written by the American writer Amanda Minnie Douglas (1831–1916).
It opens in 1781 with the news of Lord Cornwallis’ surrender to George Washington as it reaches the Carrick, Bradin, and Duvernay families, pioneers who live near Fort Pitt.

The novel is part of a series (e. g. , A Little Girl in Old Boston, A Little Girl in Old Philadelphia) that was among the first fiction series for American girls
