	Cyrus West Field - LoveToKnow 1911
		CYRUS WEST FIELD (1819-1892), American capitalist, projector of the first Atlantic cable, was born at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, on the 30th of November 1819.
		Unsuccessful attempts to lay the cable were made in August 1857 and in June 1858, but the complete cable was laid between the 7th of July and the 5th of August 1858; for a time messages were transmitted, but in October the cable became useless, owing to the failure of its electrical insulation.
		Field, however, did not abandon the enterprise, and finally in July 1866, after a futile attempt in the previous year, a cable was laid and brought successfully into use.

		THE FIELD family is one of those instances of which there are several in our national history, in which the greater part of the children of a large family springing from a respectable, but not specially-eminent ancestry, attain high distinction either in kindred or diverse pursuits.
		Field had thought the cable should be laid, showing that there was an oceanic plateau crossing the ocean, whose depth nowhere ex ceeded two miles, and whose surface, composed of the debris of microscopic shells unmixed with sand or gravel, was almost as level as a western prairie.
		Field's indefatigable zeal and persistency in thus struggling through thirteen years of discouragement and disaster to a final triumph, and his courage, which rose higher with each failure, are worthy of all praise.
