Brown here exlores America's first communications revolution--the revolution that made printed goods and public oratory widely available and, by means of the steamboat, railroad, and telegraph, sharply accelerated the pace at which information travelled.

One of the leading scholars dealing with early communication history in America, Richard Brown discusses how information moved through eighteenth and nineteenth-century American society, principally through the expansion of the printed word and its change from the property of the learned and wealthy into a mass-audience market.
