Where was the typewriter first introduced?
Manual machines were designed by Christopher Sholes- but
patented by Remington, they came into general business use- not
necessarily private writers, by about the latye l860"s after the
Civil war. it was claimed the first writer to use a typewriter in
general usage was Mark Twain, but as these machines are
standardized- the basic asdfjkl; keyboard still used- on computers,
they are fungible and it is difficult to establish privity or first
use! as they were distributed nation-wide, well you can see the
problem. Still Twain is considered to be the first regular writer
to use one.
