After a successful career painting in oils, Morse built the first American telegraph around 1835. A telegraph sends electrical signals over a long distance, through wires. in 1830, Joseph Henry (1797-1878) made the first long-distance telegraphic device - he sent an electric current for over a mile on wire that activated an electromagnet, causing a bell to ring. Morse patented a working telegraph machine in 1837, with help from his business partners Leonard Gale & Alfred Vail. Morse used a dots-and-spaces code for the letters of the alphabet & the numbers (Morse Code was later improved to use dots, dashes & spaces: for example E is dot, T is dash, A is dot-dash, N is dash-dot, O is dash-dash-dash, I is dot-dot, S is dot-dot-dot, etc.). By 1838, Morse could send 10 words per minute. Congress provided funds for building a telegraph line between Washington D.C. & Baltimore, Maryland, in 1843. Morse sent the first telegraphic message (from D.C. to Baltimore) on May 24, 1844; the message was: "What hath God wrought?" The telegraph revolutionized long-distance communications.
