520 8 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 reinterpretation,
James Schwoch details the unexplored dimensions of the
frontier telegraph and its impact.
