Alexander Graham Bell, Scottish inventor of the telephone

March 3, 1918, Edinburgh, Scotland: ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL at age 71 (born March 3, 1847) was an eminent scientist, inventor, engineer and innovator. Bell's mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell's life's work. Bell's research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first US patent for the telephone in 1876. In retrospect, Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study
