520    In this ode to Connecticut's Naugatuck River Valley, 
       vibrant photos and moving poetry relate the region's 
       legendary industrial history and ponder its legacy. The 
       story begins in 1802, when two metalworking families 
       joined forces to manufacture brass. Business soared during
       the War of 1812 with the demand for buttons, and soon 
       brass parts became essential in the age of steam and 
       electricity. As large-scale brass manufacturing grew 
       across what became known as Brass Valley, mill towns along
       the river, such as Torrington and Waterbury, developed 
       into thriving cultural centers. This continued until 2014,
       when the last plant closed, and the tradition of soot-
       covered workers charging generations-old furnaces came to 
       an end. This poignant elegy captures the glowing metal 
       flying through the air at the Ansonia foundry in its final
       days, as well as abandoned opera houses and train tracks, 
       the vestiges of a dying infrastructure and American way of
       life.
