Description
Edith and John, a story of Pittsburgh by Franklin Farquhar, was copyrighted and published in 1912. Chapter one is called The Wrecked Umbrella in the contents. Fog, smoke, and grime hang over the city of Pittsburgh as the tale opens. A thick blanket of wet air lies soggy over the streets that night.
Rain comes down like gimlets, and the air feels savage to the skin. Streets run sodden and muddy, with dirty streams babbling in the gutters. Lights gleam ghastly through the gloom on that November night in the city. Gleaming forges and ponderous hammers of the mills loom in the murk beyond. Industrial Pittsburgh in its smoke and iron forms the ground of this love story.
