Download As PDF : Heroes of the Telegraph eBook John Munro 
Prof. John Munro (1849-1930) was the author of Heroes of the Telegraph (1891), The Story of Electricity (1896) and A Trip to Venus (1897). "In plain English, at 4 a. m., a ray of light had been observed on the disc of the planet Mars in or near the "terminator"; that is to say, the zone of twilight separating day from night. The news was doubly interesting to me, because a singular dream of "Sunrise in the Moon" had quickened my imagination as to the wonders of the universe beyond our little globe, and because of a never-to-be-forgotten experience of mine with an aged astronomer several years ago."
Heroes of the Telegraph eBook John Munro
Unfortunately, I only downloaded this book believing it to be a Western with a bit of Historical Facts thrown in. I was utterly fooled. This book is a very detailed history of the Telegraph, it's inventors, it's uses, and anyone who had a hand in its development. I would only recommend this book to anyone who truly wishes to know about the Telegraph' s place in History. Otherwise, it is rather dry book of facts.Product details

Heroes of the Telegraph eBook John Munro Reviews
This book was published around 1891. It is a pretty good treatment on the folks who helped bring us the telegraph.
I did find some inaccuracies though. For instance, the author wrote that the speed of light is 288,000 miles per second. This is, of course, false - it is 288,000 kilometers per second.
