      By 1800 the population of Pennsylvania west of the Allegheny Mountains soared to 139,000 and in the process the number of counties rose from ten in 1776 to forty-two by 1804. In these years Pittsburgh began to emerge as a great city of the west. Visiting in 1784, Arthur Lee had found the town filled with "paltry log houses...as dirty as in the north of Ireland." In 1805, Thaddeus M. Harris, after passing through a "well cultivated and thickly populated region," reached a city of "wide straight streets," whose merchants carried on "a splendid trade in all kinds of wares from the coast as well as the interior." Except for geographically remote regions, such as the northern Juniata River Valley, by 1800 most of Pennsylvania's western inhabitants lived in a viable commercial society.
