Alexander Graham Bell's Birthday (1847)
-- Inventor of the telephone, born at Edinburgh, Scotland on March 3, 1847, Bell acquired his interest in the transmission of sound from his father, Melville Bell, a teacher of the deaf. Bell's use of visual devices to teach articulation to the deaf contributed to the theory from which he derived the principle of the vibrating membrane used in the telephone. On March 10, 1876, Bell spoke the first electrically transmitted sentence to his assistant in the next room: Mr. Watson, come here, I want you.
Read: Alexander Graham Bell
-- Here, Edwin Grosvenor, American Heritage's publisher, and Bell's great-grandson tell the dramatic story of the race to invent the telephone and how Bell's patent would become the most valuable ever issued. He also writes of Bell's other extraordinary inventions: the first transmission of sound over light waves, metal detector, first practical phonograph, and early airplanes, including the first to fly in Canada. And he examines Bell's humanitarian efforts, including support for women's suffrage, civil rights, and speeches about what he warned would be a greenhouse effect of pollution causing global warming.
