William Burt invented the typewriter in the United States in 1829. He patented his invention, which was known as the "typographer," and it was the first practical typewriting machine. However, it was not commercially successful due to its complexity and large size.
In Britain in 1714, Henry Mill patented a machine that was very similar to what we know as a typewriter. An Italian named Pellegrino Turri invented a typewriter sometime prior to 1808. In 1829, an American named William Austin Burt patented a machine called the "Typowriter". He is usually called the Father of the typewriter.

The commercial typewriter was invented by Christopher Latham Sholes, an American inventor, along with his colleagues Carlos Glidden and William Austin Burt. They developed the first practical typewriter in the early 1870s, which was later patented in 1868. The machine was eventually manufactured as the Sholes and Glidden typewriter, also known as the "Remington No. 1," and it became the first commercially successful typewriter when it was produced by E. Remington and Sons in 1873.
William Austin Burt was an American inventor, legislator, surveyor, and judge. In 1844 he discovered iron ore on the Marquette Range.
