You also will find a ton of contemporary (and copyright free) books on https://books.google.com/ in many languages, which I find way more amazing to read today than books looking back on that time with today's mindset and all... A favorite of mine is "Lebenserinnerungen", by Werner von Siemens, 1892: https://www.google.ch/books/edition/Lebenserinnerungen/SkIOA... It's a lovely topic to dive into and adjust your search key words according to whatever aspect interests you the most (engineering, business, economics, public service (european countries) vs free market (USA), politics, war, travel/tourism, time/clocks, railroads, ..., telegraphy changed everything). |
