The Golden Triangle, located at the confluence of the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers, form the heart of Pittsburgh's commercial center. Here, steel city fortunes were made by famous 20th century industrial giants, including Henry Frick, Andrew Carnegie, Thomas A. Mellon, George Westinghouse, and Henry Heinz.
   Point State Park, a National Historic Landmark, is located on the tip of Pittsburgh’s Golden Triangle. Here within Point Park is the Fort Pitt Museum and a replica of an eighteenth century British fort.
   Today Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, has seen a resurgence from a steel town into one of America's most livable cities. Most modern employment is derived from hi-tech fields, including medical research, software, advanced computer research and robotics. The mainstay industries, steel, aluminum, petro-chemicals and coal, keep Pittsburgh's inland waterways one of the country's busiest.
   This city scene was taken from the Grand View Scenic Byway (Emerald View Park), a three mile byway that skips along the cliff's edges of Mount Washington. A bronze sculpture by James A. West marks one end of the Emerald View Park. The scupture, named Point of View, depicts George Washington and the Seneca leader Guyasuta in a face-to-face meeting taking place in October, 1770.
