Christopher Latham Sholes
Christopher Latham Sholes〔In his time, Sholes went by the names "C. Latham Sholes", "Latham Sholes", or "C. L. Sholes", but never "Christopher Sholes" or "Christopher L. Sholes".〕 (February 14, 1819 – February 17, 1890) was an American inventor who invented the first practical typewriter and the QWERTY keyboard still in use today.〔"Early Typewriter History," http://www.mit.edu/~jcb/Dvorak/history.html.〕 He was also a newspaper publisher and Wisconsin politician.
== Youth and political career ==
Born in Mooresburg, Pennsylvania, in Montour County, Pennsylvania, Sholes moved to nearby Danville, Pennsylvania and worked there as an apprentice to a printer. After completing his apprenticeship, Sholes moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 1837, and later to Southport, Wisconsin (present-day Kenosha). He became a newspaper publisher and politician, serving in the Wisconsin State Senate from 1848-1849 as a Democrat, in the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1852-1853 as a Free Soiler, and again in the Senate as a Republican from 1856–1857.〔http://www.legis.state.wi.us/lrb/pubs/ib/99ib1.pdf〕 He was instrumental in the successful movement to abolish capital punishment in Wisconsin: his newspaper, ''The Kenosha Telegraph'', reported on the trial of John McCaffary in 1851, and then in 1853 he led the campaign in the Wisconsin State Assembly. He was the younger brother of Charles Sholes (1816–1867) who was also a newspaper publisher and politician who served in both houses of the Wisconsin State Legislature and as mayor of Kenosha.
