[edit] length

kinda short... Christopher Latham Sholes was my deceased husbands great grandfather. My mother-in-law, Elva LaVerne Sholes Fansler was his granddaughter. She actually resembled him. It is interesting to read history of family members and see what characteristics my children share with their family history. Thank you for the information. Diana L. McKay, Pittsburgh, PA


[edit] Irrationality of content

How could he have invented the typewriter in 1868 and continued development on it throughout the sixties, developing QWERTY in 1863? That's illogical.

FOULKE, A. (1961), Mr. Typewriter. A Biography of Christopher Latham Sholes, Boston, Christopher Publishing.

This book maybe a good credible reference. I don't have access to the book at the moment, but the description is worth pinning here so that it can be followed-up and referenced in the article. --Charles Gaudette 05:38, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
