| | Samuel F.B. Morse (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Morse was born on April 27, 1791, in Charlestown, Massachusetts, the son of a distinguished clergyman and geographer, and he matriculated at Yale, where he developed a passion for painting miniature portraits, and a yen to study historical painting in England. |
 | | Morse soon enhanced his weak signal by setting up amplifiers of that signal on down the line, and by inventing devices to carry signals both ways on the same line. |
 | | Eventually, Morse became a stockholder in ATC, the Field-Cooper enterprise, and, now mellowed by a new wife 30 years his junior, and by the four young children in his second family, he began traveling to Europe, to Scandinavia and Russia where he received one honor after another for his invention of the telegraph. |
