Read the excerpt from “The Telephone: A Truer Tale.”
The story of the telephone’s invention in 1876 is one of hard work, determination, and triumph. Many accounts make it sound like a fairy tale. After all, it has a terrific happy ending in which the hero, Alexander Graham Bell, uses his astonishing new device to transmit the words “Mr. Watson, come here. I want to see you.” However, the true story of how the telephone came to be is not quite as happy as most imagine. In fact, it is not a tale of triumph at all, but one of tragedy. What’s more, the first words ever spoken over a wire could not possibly have been uttered by Alexander Graham Bell, because he was only two years old at the time.
