Granville Woods, who

was an African American, is not as well

known as some other inventor. He invented a telegraph that could

transmit messages to and from a moving train. This prevented many train

accidents in which many people might have been killed or injured.

Two other famous

inventors, who lived in Ohio, were Orville and Wilbur Wright. They built the

first plane, which is another invention that has had a huge impact on our

lives. If it was not possible to travel by plane, it would take me six weeks to

get to Australia, where my family live. In the late eighteenth century when the first European settlers

went to Australia it took even longer than that. Before cheap air travel, it

must have been terribly sad for people whose relatives went to live in other

countries. They must have wondered if there would ever come a time when they

would see them again. My mother, to whom I wrote almost every week, must have

felt a bit like that about me.
