From Wikipedia Overview:

Samuel Finley Breese Morse was an American inventor and painter. He is best known for inventing the single-wire telegraph and Morse Code. Morse's invention was significant because it allowed for near-instant communication around the world. Although he didn't invent the telegraph, he developed it, commercialized it, and invented the code that bears his name. Morse was a Yale graduate who trained as an artist in England.
