Talk:Cyrus W. Field

Untitled
I have deleted the following sentence that had appeard at the end of the first paragraph: "In shorter words, he invented the telegraph." A number of people may be credited with orginial work creating electric telegraphy, see Electrical_telegraph, but Cyrus Field, an entreprenur with no technical skill, is not among them.

I deleted the last sentence because it is opinion to say he is the greatest man to ever live.
