Historian Brady Crytzer @bradycrytzer.bsky.social · 18/04/2026This is a cross-section of an original 1760’s brick from Fort Pitt. It was made onsite using clay, sand, and water. Notice the swirling details in the cutaway. Each brick was made by hand and each one was unique. What a treasure! #history 010

Historian Brady Crytzer @bradycrytzer.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Brownsville, PA was the steamboat capital of the American West. From 1790-1890, this little town built the keelboats and steamships which conquered the Mississippi. Its central location made it the gateway to Pittsburgh’s rich industrial wealth and a shortcut for travelers headed west. #history 011
