Anson's Glory - Elizabeth Matricaria

As the moving finger writes the new year and then moves on, this book delineates the former worldchanging time of the beginning of the American Industrial Era. It focuses on the life of the eighteenth century Simsbury, Connecticut orphan, Anson Greene Phelps, who, in the nineteenth century, became a man of eminence. He also founded the Phelps-Dodge Company in New York City, and its Manufacturing Division in Ansonia, Connecticut.

There, in Ansonia, men of sublime motivation and inventive genius joined to create wondrous possibilities for mankind. Now centuries later, unaware drivers speed by the road-sign, "Ansonia," and others heedlessly use its city streets.
