In Telegraph Messenger BoysGregory J. Downey provides an entirely new perspective on the telegraph system: a communications network that revolutionized human perceptions of time and space. The book goes beyond the advent of the telegraphy and tells a broader story of human interaction with technology and the social and cultural changes it brought about.

Telegraph Messenger Boysoffers intriguing analytical approaches for labor historians and is a worthy contribution to communications history.
