1910027144Chicago: McClurg 1910. First Edition. Octavo. 315 pages index. The author was one of Joseph Pulitzer's first rate reporters who interviewed Tesla Marconi Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell. He became the major writer on technology but this was his major contribution. When he wrote about the history of the telephone he could relate what he had heard directly from Bell and a large section on the largely but very important role of Theodore N. Vail. Many illustrations of that help tell the story of the revolution caused by the invention and expansion of the telephone to Chicago eventually to San Francisco which was a key in communication with earthquake and to many foreign countries. From 1879 when the first attempt of short range communication failed and was labeled "Vail's Folly" to the technology of adding one wire and making possible nationwide communication by telephone and leading to Veil becoming the Head of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Bound in green cloth lettered in gilt boards just a tad bit bowed one corner bumped. A very good copy. McClurg unknown books

20018631bdGainesville: University Press of Florida 2001. First Edition. Octavo black & red boards hardcover gilt letters xiii 260 pp. Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: In vivid comprehensive and often grim detail Invisibible Empire charts 130 years of Ku Klux Klan activity in Florida one of the Klan’s most violent and enduring realms. Beginning with the chaotic days of REconstruction when Klansmen killed more than 150 victims in a single county this important history describes the organization’s influence on Florida politics and its links to modern law enforcement. From the KKK’s heyday during the 1920s and 1930s its alignment in the 1970s and 1980s with a growing crop of neo-Nazis and other cultists and its emergence in the 1990s on the fringe of the “right-to-lif†movement Florida Klansmen have waged a constant war against progressive society. Their crimes range from petty vandalism to assassination and destruction of entire communities. Florida governors have courted Klan ballots and high-ranking lawmen collaborated with the Klan in campaigns of arson and murder. In addition to recounting tales of violence Newton addresses the critical question of how the hooded night riders continue to survive -- a bitter marginalized extremist movement that is still marching in what is arguably the Deep South’s most progressive and ethnically diverse state. He also discusses how to curb guerrilla warfare before the Klan and its allies inaugurate a new century of terror. University Press of Florida, (2001). First Edition. hardcover books
