Boston Dominates the East America's first city is still growing fast, but has been overtaken by New York in both population and manufacturing activity. Nonetheless, Boston is still the center of a great shipping fleet, which is partly based at Salem, a bustling harbor just up the coast. Boston is also home to the venerable State Street Bank, founded 40 years earlier as one of America's first city banks (with tower, in main image). The scene features a wagon rigged up to sprinkle water on the street, to keep down the dust, while a nearby horse-drawn barrel is used to roll it flat.

	Pittsburgh Already home to America's largest concentration of iron foundries and rolling mills, Pittsburgh will soon expand to become the country's great steel-producing capital.
	Pennsylvania Pennsylvania's farming region supply center is York, which will soon shift into manufacturing.
	Massachusetts Outside of Boston, Massachusetts remains mostly farming country, despite growing pockets of small factories.
	Kentucky Louisville is located in the Western state of Kentucky (note the covered wagons jamming the street), but remains cut off from the rest of the Midwest by the Ohio River, which still lacks a bridge.
