About the Author
I love history, from diners to amusement parks to old highways and the cool places you'll find along them. My newest books are the Kennywood Trilogy; the second book, just out, features the intertwined story of Pittsburgh's Luna Park.
In addition to the books I've written, I'm also an editor at the Heinz History Center and served as project manager or editor of:
* The Civil War in Pennsylvania: A Photographic History
* Maz, You're Up!
* Soul Soldiers: African Americans and the Vietnam Era
* Clash of Empires: The British French & Indian War, 1754-1763
* Pittsburgh's Strip District: Around the World in a Neighborhood
* Industry and Infantry: The Civil War in Western Pennsylvania (with Nicholas Ciotola)
