Alexander .G. Bell was the inventor of the telephone and telegraph.
His middle name was Graham.
SUPPLEMENTLike many great public figures, Bell, for all his fine contributions to society, had serious character flaws and regretted some actions of which he was not proud. His wife, as well as his mother, was deaf, and as a champion of Eugenics -- the belief that the human race must be purified and cleansed by controlled breeding -- he argued that deaf people were fatally defective and that their breeding would contaminate the human race.
When he announced his invention of a method of converting vocal energy into controlled electrical current over telegraph wires, he was immediately challenged by Elisha Gray, who claimed prior rights to the invention. In the courts, Bell prevailed, but although some sources today (About.com, for example) say that Gray had developed a "similar" system, recent evidence, documented from primary sources -- patent office records, laboratory notebooks, private correspondence -- is that Bell's "invention" was an outright theft of Gray's idea.
Note: Most of us who report disagreeable facts have never been tested by serious temptations, and we must withhold judgment, lest we be judged. For all the unpleasantness that surrounds Bell's beliefs and actions, he was a powerful force in encouraging and developing programs for the education of deaf people.
