Helped Invent Telegraph Vindicates Alfred Vail in Address
Stephen Vail, son of Alfred Vail, challenged Commissioner Macfarland’s claim that the first telegraph message was sent by a living man. Vail cited his father’s role in Morse’s invention, noting Alfred Vail received the first message at Mount Clare in 1844 and that Morse died in 1872. He disputed museum claims about the first instrument and said Morse’s and his father’s contributions should both be acknowledged.
