The document announces the upcoming release in early 2013 of a new book by Larry Slater about the history of Ambridge, Pennsylvania from 1824 to 1905. The book will describe how the town began as a religious community called Economy under the Harmony Society, known for its mix of mystery, alchemy, industry, and celibacy, before becoming the headquarters for the American Bridge Company division of U.S. Steel. It will cover the period when what is now Ambridge was initially the town of Economy founded by the Harmony Society, a unique religious community that also included industry.
