A Brief History of the Telegram
Since as long ago as the 1830's when British Inventors William Cooke and Charles Wheatstone devised the electric telegraph system, the breakthrough in communications which came to be known as the telegram has been responsible for reporting world-shattering events.
Telegram, telegraph, cablegram, radio telegram: evocative names which signal significant news for the recipient.
From the news of gold found in California to the discovery of a disguised Dr Crippen aboard the SS Montrose, the key witness was always the telegram.
