About this book
The Personality of American Cities is a book by Edward Hungerford. The preface says that, with the exception of Charleston, New Orleans and the three cities of the North Pacific, the author has been in each city two or three or even four or five times. The text says that of Boston harbor an entire book might easily be written, with matters such as, among others, the quaint craft that still tie to its wharves and the brave show of shipping that passes in and out each day.
A man smiles as he gazes down into a busy street and says “This is Pittsburgh”; later that day, the text says, that same man stands in another window, of a tall skyscraper, and again gazes down. The text speaks of squares other than the Gardens of the Place Viger, which in spring and in summer are bright green carpets spread in little open places in the heart and length and breadth of the city.
