Summary "Samuel F. B. Morse, His Letters and Journals" by Samuel Finley Breese Morse is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and experiences of Samuel Morse, focusing primarily on his correspondence and reflections surrounding the invention of the telegraph. The narrative illuminates Morse's struggles, both personal and professional, as he endeavors to establish his telegraphic innovations amidst the complexities of national and self-identity. The opening of the volume sets the stage for the chronicle of Morse's life after his return to America from Europe in 1832. It recounts the pivotal moment aboard the packet-ship Sully when he was inspired by a discussion on electromagnetism, leading to his revolutionary idea of using electricity to transmit messages. Despite his growing vision, Morse faced numerous hardships, including financial constraints and skepticism from contemporaries. The text highlights his determination and the eventual conception of the telegraph, showcasing not only the technical breakthroughs but also the personal tribulations that shaped him as an inventor and a man.
