America at Night

Author(s): Don Rittner
$22.99
DESCRIPTION
This book contains almost 200 photos taken from the late nineteenth century to the 1960s by the General Electric Company. Over these decades GE scientists continually experimented to invent and modify street lights that could transform urban downtowns, rural roads, and parks into daylight use.

The images in this book show more than half of America lighting up for the first time liberating the country from common darkness and allowing entertainment, work, and pleasure to become a 24 hour pursuit.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S)
Don Rittner is a historian, archeologist, environmental activist, educator, and author living in the Capital District, Schenectady County. He is the former Schenectady County Historian, responsible for providing guidance and support to municipal historians and serving as a conduit between the State Historian in Albany and the local historians in their counties. He is the author of more than 35 books on history, natural history, and other subjects.
