When John White returned to Roanoke Island in 1590, the English colony he had left there three years earlier was abandoned. The only traces of the 117 colonists were letters carved on trees. The search to discover the fate of the missing Roanoke Island settlers has gone on for over four hundred years. The mystery remains unsolved today. In The Mysterious Disappearance of Roanoke Colony in American History, an exciting addition to the "In American History" series, Zachary Kent examines the lost colony at Roanoke. Through fast-paced story telling and quotes from historic men and women, Kent helps readers understand the background and history of the Roanoke experiment. The author also discusses modern attempts to solve the disappearance. Book jacket.

On March 7, 1876, the U.S. Patent Office issued to a young inventor named Alexander Graham Bell what is arguably the most valuable patent ever: entitled "improvements in telegraphy," in truth it secured for Bell the basic principles involved in a telephone. On the same day that Bell filed his patent application, a caveat (a preliminary patent document) was filed by Elisha Gray. This coincidence sparked the first of many debates over whether Bell was the true inventor of the telephone. In the early 1860s Johann Phillipp Reis developed a version of the instrument, but his claims against Bell were hampered by the bungling of his lawyers in demonstrating his instrument in court. This work is a first look at the many men who developed the telephone and an examination of their claims against Bell's patent. A lay description of the phone is also provided, as well as a history of the development of the telephone system.

". . . rarely have inventor and invention been better served than in this book." – New York Times Book Review Here, Edwin Grosvenor, American Heritage's publisher and Bell's great-grandson, tells the dramatic story of the race to invent the telephone and how Bell's patent for it would become the most valuable ever issued. He also writes of Bell's other extraordinary inventions: the first transmission of sound over light waves, metal detector, first practical phonograph, and early airplanes, including the first to fly in Canada. And he examines Bell's humanitarian efforts, including support for women's suffrage, civil rights, and speeches about what he warned would be a "greenhouse effect" of pollution causing global warming.
