Description

Explore the historical intersection of technology, politics, and rhetoric in this detailed study from Baywood's Technical Communications. By 1838, the United States faced a massive safety crisis, with exploding steam engines on steamboats resulting in over two thousand deaths and hundreds of injuries. This book examines the legislative response to these tragedies. The narrative follows the progression from public outcry and calls for action in two State of the Union addresses to the formation of a Senate Select Committee. It provides a deep look at the first federally funded investigation into a technical issue, centered on an investigative report from the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia. This work is essential for those interested in the history of law, technical investigations, and how government policy responds to industrial accidents.
