Western Union and the Creation of the American Corporate Order, 1845–1893
Wolff, Joshua D. (Columbia University, New York)
This work chronicles the rise of Western Union Telegraph from the early years of telecommunications to its apogee as the first corporation to monopolize an industry on a national scale. The battles over Western Union's monopoly illuminate the fierce tensions over the rising power of corporations after the Civil War and the reshaping of the American political economy.
