Dark Secret of the Light That Failed

Dark Secret of the Light That Failed

Listed here is a newspaper regarding an incident that occurred in 1907 on the night in which the first electrical currents were to surge through the streets of Fort Erie. According to the story, residents gathered to celebrate the town's first illumination of electrically generated light, only to go home disappointed. The lights never came on, leading this newspaper to point its finger at the local postman.
