Henry W. Roby's Story Of The Invention Of The Typewriter is a historical account of the creation of the first practical typewriter. The book details the life and work of Christopher Latham Sholes, the inventor of the typewriter, and his collaborators, including Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soule. The narrative follows the development of the machine from its earliest prototypes to the final product, which was patented in 1868. The book also explores the social and economic impact of the typewriter, which revolutionized communication and changed the way people worked. Roby's account is based on extensive research and includes illustrations and photographs of the early typewriters.
