Frank D. Quattrone's pictorial history of Ambler, Pennsylvania, in Arcadia's Images of America series (2004). It runs from the Wissahickon Creek mills and the 1856 train wreck through the Keasbey & Mattison era, churches, schools and townspeople. It says Mattison's company made asbestos paper, millboard and shingles and that by World War I Ambler was 'the asbestos capital of the world.' One caption, on the 'White Mountain' waste pile, says asbestosis afflicts many former employees and that the company is believed to have known asbestos dangers by 1900 and suppressed it.
