Default T206 Miller-Pittsburgh No H

Posted By: barry arnold

My scholarly friend, Steve, is quite right about the h being dropped
around 1890 or so by the U.S. Board of Geographic Names---and put back
in again around 1911.
I'm thinking the tobacco baseball card companies must have been obedient in
printing Pittsburg without the H. At least, that's my take.
