Telegram (noun): A message sent by telegraph; a telegraphic dispatch.
History: The first telegram was sent on May 24, 1844 by Samuel Morse. He sent the first telegraphic message from Washington D.C. to Baltimore and contained a clip from the bible: "What hath God wrought?"
Now, over 150 years later, Western Union is the leading telegram service in the world, with over 200,000 locations. And now with the Internet, you are able to send telegrams online to anywhere in North America from the privacy of your home with your Visa or MasterCard. |
