Abstract |
An oral history of Squirrel Hill’s Mary S. Brown Memorial-Ames Church, collected and published by the church’s pastor. Despite its historical aims, the book qualifies as fiction because it was “gathered from hearsay yarns,” according to the Post-Gazette, which called it “semi-fictional (and hilarious).”

Notes |
Settings also include Pitt Twp., Peebles Twp., and Collins Twp., which were annexed into the City of Pittsburgh in 1868.
