This video focuses on a book by Tom Standage and offers a brief history of the #telegraph
I thought today would be a good day to talk about a #Nonfiction book that transitions well from Victober to #NonfictionNovember

The Victorian Internet by Tom Standage: goodreads.com/book/show/451670.The_Victorian_Internet
A Longer Video (clearly made in the ‘90s) on the Telegraph: youtube.com/watch?v=wGs57VQHt7M

Reference made to the fictional lighting of the beacons from Lord of the Rings but this was used historically as well in the real world.
