安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Another curious fact has recently been discovered. Mr. John Morley's address, in 1904 on Founder's Day at the Carnegie Institute, Pittsburgh, referred to the capture of Fort Duquesne by General Forbes and his writing Prime Minister Pitt that he had rechristened it "Pittsburgh" for him. This General Forbes was then Laird of Pittencrieff and was born in the Glen which I purchased in 1902 and presented to Dunfermline for a public park. So that two Dunfermline men have been Lairds of Pittencrieff whose chief work was in Pittsburgh. One named Pittsburgh and the other labored for its development.

白话
约翰·莫利在1904年卡内基研究所创始人日的演讲中提到,福布斯将军攻占杜肯堡后写信给英国首相皮特,说他已经为皮特将其重新命名为“匹兹堡”。这位福布斯将军当时是皮滕克里夫庄园的领主,出生在卡内基1902年买下并赠给邓弗姆林作为公园的那个峡谷。因此,有两位邓弗姆林人曾担任皮滕克里夫领主,他们的主要工作都在匹兹堡:一位为匹兹堡命名,另一位为它的发展出力。这巧合说明人与地方的联系可能跨越时空,看似无关的事件背后有奇妙的关联。
上下文
出自卡内基自传,他提到自己捐赠的公园与匹兹堡命名的历史巧合。
