"What were the thoughts of a little girl who went out as an emigrant to Kansas in 1862? Who knows what it is to depend on the food to be found there? The terrors of a prairie fire? What it is to see Indians in full war paint filling one's doorway? Who can understand the feelings of fifty women and children left unprotected beyond reach of civilization while their men fought off Confederate raiders and died where they fell without medical care? A visit to paris, described at the book's close, provides contrast and we lose sight of la petite savage as she presses her eye to a knothole of the boarding around the Tuileries to catch a glimpse of hte Prince Imperial at play."--Jacket flap.

The myth of light and progress has blinded us. In our electric world, we are everywhere surrounded by effortlessly glowing lights that simply exist, as they should, seemingly clear and comforting proof that human genius means the present will always be better than the past, and the future better still. At best, this is half the story. At worst, it is a lie. From whale oil to kerosene, from the colonial period to the end of the U.S. Civil War, modern, industrial lights brought wonderful improvements and incredible wealth to some. But for most workers, free and unfree, human and nonhuman, these lights were catastrophes. This book tells their stories. The surprisingly violent struggle to produce, control, and consume the changing means of illumination over the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries transformed slavery, industrial capitalism, and urban families in profound, often hidden ways. Only by taking the lives of whalers and enslaved turpentine makers, match-manufacturing children and coal miners, night-working seamstresses and the streetlamp-lit poor—those American lucifers—as seriously as those of inventors and businessmen can the full significance of the revolution of artificial light be understood.
