Excerpt from The Unwritten History of Braddock's Field (Pennsylvania) The story of Monongahela and Braddock of Old has been told many, many times. The new Braddock has been so busy doing the big things that no one has had time to pause in the onward rush to tell of it. This modest volume, written in commemoration of fifty years of Braddock history and twenty-five years of Rankin history, and to connect up the modern with the ancient, even back to the first white settlement on the ground a century and three quarters ago, deals chiefly with the recent life achievements of this community. The number of old residents who have helped in its compilation, and have contributed from their memory and experience to the information gathered is too numerous to receive per sonal mention here, but their assistance has been invaluable and will merit and receive the thanks of many who are to come after them. A member of the history committee has been assigned to each chap ter and each is responsible for what appears under his name.
