Thomas A. Watson was born on January 18, 1854, in Salem, Massachusetts, and died December 13, 1934, at more than four-score years. At the age of 13 he left school and went to work in a store. Always keenly interested in learning more and in making the most of all he learned, every new experience was to him, from his childhood on, an opening door into a larger, more beautiful and more wonderful world. This was the key to the continuous variety that gave interest to his life. In 1874 he obtained employment in the electrical shop of Charles Williams, Jr., at 109 Court Street, Boston. Here he met Alexander Graham Bell, and the telephone chapter in his life began. This he has told in the little book herewith presented. In 1881, having well earned a rest from the unceasing struggle with the problems of early telephony, and being now a man of means, he resigned his position in the American Bell Telephone Company and spent a year in Europe. On his return he started a little machine shop for his own pleasure, at his place in East Braintree, Massachusetts. From this grew the Fore River Ship and Engine Company, which did its large share of building the U. S. Navy of the Spanish War. In 1904 he retired from active business. When 40 years of age and widely known as a shipbuilder, he went to college, taking special courses in geology and biology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. At the same time he specialized in literature. These studies dominated his later years, leading him in extensive travels all over the world, and at home extending to others the inspiration of a genial simplicity of life and of a love for science, literature and all that is fine in life.

The world barely remembers Thomas A. Watson--the man who worked with Alexander Graham Bell every step of the way toward the invention of the telephone. If we think of Watson at all it is because of the first sentence transmitted over the telephone: "Mr. Watson--come here--I want you." But it was Thomas A. Watson who in 1913 could honestly tell The Telephone Pioneers of America that "I made every part of that famous telephone with my own hands." Side by side, night and day--even in those hours Bell was away teaching the deaf to earn additional income for their project--Watson was labouring over the telephone, model after model, step by step until they came to a version that actually spoke. And as the story is told--Mr. Bell invented the telephone--we rarely think of the vital, respectful relationship between these two young men, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas A. Watson, and what they achieved together. We rarely consider the man who, piece by piece, modified the components and shaped the original talking telephone until the famous phrase came through. This was an intimate, creative relationship, shared in The Birth and Babyhood of the Telephone. With added portions of Watson's autobiography, Exploring Life, in this new edition of this little book, we see a young boy's coming of age as he watches the more sophisticated Bell's every move, his stature and speech, and even how Bell holds his fork. And Bell in turn is sharing cultural and scientific information with Watson who left school at thirteen--encouraging certain books, a more distinct way of speaking--all part of the relationship that gave birth to the telephone. And when those first heady days are over--the telephone works, the business is developing--Bell goes off in marriage to Mabel Hubbard and Watson is a wealthy man free to live out his dreams--Watson in particular does not forget. In 1878 he writes to Bell: "Do you ever think of those days"--actually, days and nights of wrestling toward the difficult birth, testing, making changes, stringing wire, collapsing exhausted on cots, depressed with continued failures then elated to the point of agitating their landlandy with their war dance and whoops. "Do you ever think of those days...?" Watson wrote as he was preparing to dismantle the laboratory, the workshop they had shared.. Once having read The Birth and Babyhood of the Telephone, it is no longer enough to say that Mr. Bell invented the telephone without acknowledging Watson's proud words that "I made every part of that famous telephone with my own hands."

A complete history of how the telegraph revolutionized technological practice and life in America. Telegraphy in the nineteenth century approximated the internet in our own day. Historian and electrical engineer David Hochfelder offers readers a comprehensive history of this groundbreaking technology, which employs breaks in an electrical current to send code along miles of wire. The Telegraph in America, 1832–1920 examines the correlation between technological innovation and social change and shows how this transformative relationship helps us to understand and perhaps define modernity. The telegraph revolutionized the spread of information—speeding personal messages, news of public events, and details of stock fluctuations. During the Civil War, telegraphed intelligence and high-level directives gave the Union war effort a critical advantage. Afterward, the telegraph helped build and break fortunes and, along with the railroad, altered the way Americans thought about time and space. With this book, Hochfelder supplies us with an introduction to the early stirrings of the information age.
