Edison and the Electric Chair: A Story
of Light and Death  

 By Mark Essig

Published by Bloomsbury in 2010-Epub 

Description

Thomas Edison stunned America in 1879 by unveiling a
world-changing invention—the light bulb—and then launching the electrification of America's cities. A
decade later, despite having been an avowed opponent of the death penalty, Edison threw his laboratory resources and
reputation behind the creation of a very different sort of device—the electric chair. Deftly exploring this
startling chapter in American history, Edison & the Electric Chair delivers both a vivid portrait of a nation on the
cusp of modernity and a provocative new examination of Edison himself. Edison championed the electric chair for reasons
that remain controversial to this day. Was Edison genuinely concerned about the suffering of the condemned? Was he
waging a campaign to smear his rival George Westinghouse's alternating current and boost his own system? Or was he
warning the public of real dangers posed by the high-voltage alternating wires that looped above hundreds of
America's streets? Plumbing the fascinating history of electricity, Mark Essig explores America's love of
technology and its fascination with violent death, capturing an era when the public was mesmerized and terrified by an
invisible force that produced blazing light, powered streetcars, carried telephone conversations—and killed.
