About this listen

This episode looks at two fellow East Coasters Frederic Gisborne and Abraham Pineo Gesner.

In part one the massive multi-year effort for Gisborne to span the Atlantic Ocean with a cable to connect the old and new worlds with the lightning on a wire of instant morse code communications in the 1850's

Part two will look at NS Geologist Abraham Gessner and his invention without which those first automobiles weren't going anywhere.
