As the nation reached the position of world leader, her towns and cities changed at an unprecedented pace. With the approach to the millennium, the topic of change is on everyone's mind - how our communities and lifestyles have changed oyer the past century, and how we can endeavor to preserve the past while facing a future in which the world seems to change ever faster. The American Century series documents and celebrates our most recent history - featuring images of faces and places that were taken within living memory and yet already seem to belong to a long-past era. Federal Hill in the Twentieth Century, written by local historians Joe Fuoco and AJ. Lothrop, uses a wealth of images to bring the history of Federal Hill in this eventful century to life.
