Experience the color, drama, and excitement of Philadelphia as it changes over three hundred years from a colonial port to industrial city and modern metropolis. Such diverse characters as William Penn, Benjamin Franklin, Stephen Girard, John Wanamaker, Rebecca Gratz, Frank Rizzo, and Ed Rendell march across these pages. The struggles of immigrants and African Americans for a place in the city are recounted, along with the occasional spasms of violence and modern efforts at urban renewal.
