This original newspaper contains a back page headline: "EXTENSION OF THE MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH" with a 2/3 column report of the newly invented and newly revealed ELECTROMAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. This report is of the actual construction of the connections between several cities in addition to the first 2 cities (Baltimore and Washington). This issue marks the BEGINNING of the PRACTICAL BUSINESS USE of the newly invented ELECTROMAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. Samuel Finley Breese Morse (April 27, 1791 – April 2, 1872) was an American inventor and painter. After having established his reputation as a portrait painter, in his middle age Morse contributed to the invention of a single-wire telegraph system based on European telegraphs. He was a co-developer of Morse code and helped to develop the commercial use of telegraphy. On May 24, 1844, the line was officially opened as Morse sent the now-famous words, "What hath God wrought," from the Supreme Court chamber in the basement of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C., to the B&O's Mount Clare Station in Baltimore. U.S. Patent Commissioner Henry Leavitt Ellsworth, had championed Morse's invention and secured early funding for it. His telegraph could transmit thirty characters per minute. In May 1845, the Magnetic Telegraph Company was formed in order to build telegraph lines from New York City toward Philadelphia; Boston; Buffalo, New York; and the Mississippi. Telegraphic lines rapidly spread throughout the United States in the next few years, with 12,000 miles of wire laid by 1850. Very good condition.
