Story of the Atlantic Telegraph, The by Henry M. Field (1822 - 1907)  

Story of the Atlantic Telegraph, The by Henry M. Field (1822 - 1907)

Author: LibriVox

Cyrus W. Field had a dream: to link the Old World of Britain and Europe to that of the New World of North America by a telegraph cable stretching across the great Atlantic Ocean. It took him thirteen years, a lot of money, and many men and ships and cable to make it happen. He wanted to bring the world together and make it a smaller place; to forge alliances and achieve peace. This is his story. (Introduction by Alex C. Telander)
