The nineteenth century was a very prolific time for innovation and discovery, especially in the fields of biology, physics and mathematics. On the heels of the Industrial Revolution came many of the most important inventions in American History, including the invention of the automobile, the invention of the telephone and the invention of the airplane.

There was much written in the journals of the 1800’s about the advances in science and technology. Many historic magazine articles were written about such famous inventors as Thomas Edison, George Eastman and Alfred Nobel.
