Book Synopsis The Telegraph in America, 1832–1920 by : David Hochfelder
Download or read book The Telegraph in America, 1832–1920 written by David Hochfelder and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A complete history of how the telegraph revolutionized technological practice and life in America. Telegraphy in the nineteenth century approximated the internet in our own day. Historian and electrical engineer David Hochfelder offers readers a comprehensive history of this groundbreaking technology, which employs breaks in an electrical current to send code along miles of wire. The Telegraph in America, 1832–1920 examines the correlation between technological innovation and social change and shows how this transformative relationship helps us to understand and perhaps define modernity. The telegraph revolutionized the spread of information—speeding personal messages, news of public events, and details of stock fluctuations. During the Civil War, telegraphed intelligence and high-level directives gave the Union war effort a critical advantage. Afterward, the telegraph helped build and break fortunes and, along with the railroad, altered the way Americans thought about time and space. With this book, Hochfelder supplies us with an introduction to the early stirrings of the information age.

The genesis of Morse's invention is covered in detail, starting in 1832, along with the establishment of the first transcontinental telegraph line in the United States and the dramatic effect the device had on the Civil War. The Morse telegraph that served the world for over 100 years is explained in clear terms. Also examined are recent advances in telegraph technology and its continued impact on communication.

This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Telegraphy and Encyclopedia of the Telegraph: Systems, Apparatus, Operation Somewhat less than twenty-five years ago the simple Morse system of telegraphy was the only one in general use in America. One or two printing telegraph systems were in operation, and attempts were being made to utilize, satisfactorily, chemical automatic telegraph systems. At that time, although the duplex system of telegraphy was in limited use, it had not been perfected, and in some quarters it was looked upon as a "scientific toy," "very beautiful in its way but quite useless in a practical point of view." Since then the duplex and quadruplex systems, and the Wheatstone automatic telegraph system, have been extensively introduced into the commercial telegraph service of this country. Since then, also, multiplex, phonoplex, burglar alarm, police signal and other analogous systems of telegraphy have been invented and placed in successful operation. Many important improvements in printing telegraphy, submarine telegraphy, fire alarm telegraphy, etc., have, in recent years, also been introduced, and in numerous other ways the art of electrical telegraphy has been advanced. While a number of the systems and improvements referred to have, at different times, and at more or less length, been described in electrical books and periodicals, the writer is not aware that even a majority of them has been fully described in any one book, and thus a knowledge of them placed within easy reach of the ordinary student of telegraphy. Believing that such a book would be of value, the attempt has been made, in the present work, to supply a comprehensive account of the systems of telegraphy now in use in America, and as such an account naturally includes sources of electromotive force employed, line construction, line and apparatus testing, etc., those subjects have also been dwelt upon at some length. As far as possible each subject has been treated from a practical standpoint, and the book, as a whole, has been written in a manner intended to be clear to novices in electrical matters, more especially those who are directly engaged in the practical working of electrical systems of telegraphy. To that end, where it has seemed essential to a proper understanding of a subject, full, and, it is hoped, accurate, explanations of laws and facts of electricity and magnetism involved in the operation of systems and methods described, have been given.

Book excerpt: Here is an often cited panoramic history of the telegraph which discusses the principal telegraph firms and the key persons within them. Throughout his work, Reid stresses the business and economic aspects of marketing this remarkable scientific invention. The importance of The Telegraph in America as a classic reference in the field is under-scored by the fact that the author was active in telegraphy throughout the period he discusses. He thus had a personal knowledge of persons and events under examination.

Book excerpt: "In 1883, the Brotherhood of Telegraphers, a nationwide union affiliated with the Knights of Labor, began what proved to be an unsuccessful strike against Western Union. The strike was well publicized, for it pitted a new group of middle-class employees against an enormous corporation headed by Jay Gould. Using the strike as a starting point, [the author] has written a social history of American telegraphy in the late nineteenth century, exploring the backgrounds, values, and experiences of the men and women who worked as operators."--Page 4 of cover.

Book Synopsis Wired into Nature by : James Schwoch
Download or read book Wired into Nature written by James Schwoch and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 2018-03-09 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The completion of the Transcontinental Telegraph in 1861 completed telegraphy's mile-by-mile trek across the West. In addition to linking the coasts, the telegraph represented an extraordinary American effort in many fields of endeavor to know, act upon, and control a continent. Merging new research with bold interpretation, James Schwoch details the unexplored dimensions of the frontier telegraph and its impact. The westward spread of telegraphy entailed encounters with environments that challenged Americans to acquire knowledge of natural history, climate, and a host of other fields. Telegraph codes and ciphers, meanwhile, became important political, military, and economic secrets. Schwoch shows how the government's use of commercial networks drove a relationship between the two sectors that served increasingly expansionist aims. He also reveals the telegraph's role in securing high ground and encouraging surveillance. Both became vital aspects of the American effort to contain, and conquer, the West's indigenous peoples—and part of a historical arc of concerns about privacy, data gathering, and surveillance that remains pertinent today. Entertaining and enlightening, Wired into Nature explores an unknown history of the West.
