For those travelers who want to delve into the industrial history of Pittsburgh, this private tour offers a much deeper experience than you'll get on a typical sightseeing experience. In the company of your guide, the proud grandson of one of the leaders of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steelworkers, you'll visit such landmarks as the Bryce-Mesta Mansion Homestead, the 1892 Battle of Homestead Site and Braddock while learning all about Pittsburgh's Steel Valley.

Travel to a time before white Europeans "tamed" the wilderness of Western Pennsylvania, when Indians built mounds and walked trails. Be wary, though. It becomes the most dangerous place on Earth. We begin at the forts built at the Forks of the Ohio. We end at Logstown, the original Wild West town. Along the way, we'll be joined by howling wolves and dancing Indians. We'll visit an Indian burial mound that was carried away piece by piece until it is no more. Charles Dickens will reflect on his steamboat trip down the Ohio, and Grandmother will tell us why all the animals left Lenape land. This is a self-guided audio tour.

This self-guided GPS audio tour is Part 1 of a 4-part eastbound Pennsylvania Turnpike series that eliminates highway boredom. It tells the incredible prehistoric tales of ancient Indians who once walked this trail, and the compelling historic dramas from the time that the cultures of American Indians and Europeans clashed here. This segment of the tour begins at the Pittsburgh turnpike entrance at Monroeville, ascends into the Allegheny Mountains, and ends atop them at the Somerset Travel Plaza. Your understanding of life here centuries ago will also reach a new plateau, I guarantee that! Together we will learn how to track game; how to find a husband, and what to say if we encounter any Indians -- or even a Bigfoot -- on the trail. We will pass the battlefield that helped seal the fate of Indians in this region. We'll also be near the Flight 93 National Memorial if you wish to stop and make a pilgrimage to honor brave souls.
