Philadelphia: Persons and Places

By Mark N Ozer and Mark N. Ozer

Who? When? Where? and Why? These are the questions to be answered when exploring Philadelphia. Once colonial America's premier city, it fell from its political prominence in 1800 following the move of the federal Seat of Government to the Potomac region. Its commercial hegemony fell behind that of upstart Baltimore while by the Civil War its financial hegemony and nearly all other aspects fell behind that of New York. Reborn as the industrial capital, it had its greatest day at the time of the 1876 American Centennial. The age of steam upon which it was based has now been replaced by that of information. It takes great pride in its history for craftsmanship and innovation as it strives for renewal in the future.
