Born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, this brilliant person graduated from Yale and studied in England.

And he had visions that led him into a career that would change the world.

Specializing in art, he had a dream that he would become famous.  He mentioned this to his teacher who scoffed at the notion that this average student would amount to anything.

But the young man was undeterred and pursued his vision.  It led him into science where he dabbled in numerous areas before having another dream envisioning that he discovered a new way for people to communicate.

He is known for the message he once sent, “What hath God wrought!”

At the turn of the century, when he was only twenty-three, he gave a speech explaining that he was “probing” into his past lives to help him achieve greatness in this one.  He believed that cumulative knowledge form “all his experiences” would help him uncover the secrets of the universe.

Born in 1791, he was Samuel Morse, the inventor of the first telegraph.
