Samuel Morse, American Inventor

Samuel Finley Breese Morse (April 27, 1791 - April 2, 1872) was an American inventor. While returning by ship from Europe in 1832, he encountered Charles Jackson, a man well schooled in electromagnetism. Witnessing experiments with Jackson's electromagnet, Morse developed the concept of a single-wire telegraph. The original Morse telegraph, submitted with his patent application, is part of the collections of the National Museum of American History at the Smithsonian Institution. He was also the co-developer of the Morse code which became the primary language of telegraphy in the world. It is still the standard for rhythmic transmission of data. Morse received a patent for the telegraph in 1847. The Morse telegraphic apparatus was officially adopted as the standard for European telegraphy in 1851. Morse was a leader in the anti-Catholic and anti-immigration movement, and became well known as a defender of slavery. He died of pneumonia in 1872, 25 days short of his 81st birthday.
