In the eleven years preceding the 50th Anniversary of the launch of the typewriter industry, much was written on the origins of that industry as it matured and the typewriter became indispensible to modern business and living. Great effort was made to lock down the first-hand accounts of the invention of the typewriter while there were still witnesses to tell the tale. The story of Christpher Latham Sholes is explored repeatedly from various points of view in these five extracts and monographs on the subject, produced between 1912 and 1923. An indispensable look at the earliest accounts of the very beginning of the Typewriter Revolution!
