| I'm writing a steampunk novel for NaNoWriMo and I'm stuck on a couple of aspects. My novel is set in Philadelphia in the 1890s and I'm having a difficult time finding maps and info on that time period that doesn't have to do with the civil war and slaves. I know that was important but I'm looking for landmarks and such since I've never been to Philadelphia. If anyone has any research ideas, I'd love to hear them. Or maybe a more reliable search engine because google brings a lot of irrelevant info back. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks! Serenity to you and yours!

How about googling for some documentaries (the type with renactments) or television shows set in that period - visual smorgasbord! --- SteamPunk Newsletter Out Now!
