To Live and Die Amongst the Monongahela Hills: The Story of Albert Gallatin and Friendship Hill
Through personal letters and academic scholarship, To Live and Die Amongst the Monongahela Hills introduces readers to the historic life of Albert Gallatin, the unsung immigrant who helped shape the United States republic. From the Whiskey Rebellion and Louisiana Purchase to the Treaty of Ghent, the Swiss-born Gallatin’s seven decades of public service touched on some of the earliest moments of the fledgling United States—the Revolution, western exploration, local and national legislatures, the Presidency, diplomacy, commerce, industry, banking, finance, education, and ethnology.
In this booklet, learn what history knows of Albert Gallatin and be sure to visit the interpretative exhibits at Friendship Hill National Historic Site, the location of Gallatin’s treasured Friendship Hill estate, in western Pennsylvania.
