Twisted Rails, Sunken Ships: The Rhetoric of Nineteenth Century Steamboat and
Railroad Accident Investigation Reports
R. John Brockmann
Contemporary disaster investigation reports into the shuttle,
Three Mile Island, or the World Trade Center did not happen by chance,
but were the result of an evolution of the discourse communities involved
with investigating technological accidents. The relationships of private
companies, coroners, outside experts, and government investigators all had
to be developed and experimented with before a genre of investigation reports could exist. This book is the story of the evolution of these investigation discourse communities in published reports written between 1833 and 1879.
