It is easy to look at a place such as Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh's Lawrenceville neighborhood and think that it encompasses strictly the dead. But a closer look reveals many lives and stories told throughout the pages of time by those who have lived them. To define Allegheny Cemetery as simply a place does not do it justice. It is not only a physical location, but a crossroads in history, and a point in time where each of these lives converge. Images of America: Allegheny Cemetery shares these legacies with the hope that present and future generations will do the same.

Author Bio
Lisa Speranza has written extensively on both the history of Pittsburgh and the families who have graced the stages of its social elite. She is pleased not only to share these insights into the Lawrence and Flinn families but to do so through intimate photographs taken by the families themselves and provided through the grace and generosity of the Hartwood Acres estate.
