The world of communication was revolutionized by a man
who died this day, April 2, 1872.

His name: Samuel Morse.
He invented the telegraph and the Morse Code.

An outstanding portrait artist in his own right, founding the National
Academy of Design, Morse erected the first telegraph lines between Baltimore
and the U.S. Supreme Court chamber in Washington, D.C. in 1844. The first
message he sent over this new communication system was only four words, a
verse from the Bible, Numbers 23:23: "What hath God Wrought! "
