History lives in these streets. On the banks of the Ohio in western Pennsylvania, the quiet village of Economy and the bustling town of Ambridge share a singular story of faith, industry, and change. Elise Mercur Wagner's classic local history book traces the settlement and pioneer life of Economy of old, shaped by the Harmony Society's religious vision, and follows the vast development of Ambridge and its surroundings into a modern industrial community. Blending narrative and careful documentation, Wagner creates an enduring pennsylvania history reference for anyone interested in american town history, communal society history, and industrial town development. Names of families, churches, societies, and businesses bring the map of Ambridge pennsylvania history and Economy pennsylvania history into sharp focus, making this volume invaluable for genealogy research as well as for historians and local scholars seeking authentic detail on harmony society history and other utopian religious communities. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. For casual readers curious about the evolution of small American towns, and for dedicated collectors of regional and communal history, Wagner's work captures, with vivid clarity, how one historic spot evolved from secluded piety to industrial power while retaining a distinctive local character.
