Kane; A Record of First Happenings, Discoveries,
and Inventions in American History - Fourth Edition
Expanded and Revised, Published by H. W. Wilson
Co., New York, in 1981 (first published in 1933);
ISBN: 0&endash;8242&endash;0661&endash;4.
••• Famous First Facts, by Joseph
Nathan Kane; 1350 pages, hardcover, contains two
separate listings about Nathan B. Stubblefield.
••• First, on page 521, a listing in
the RADIO BROADCAST section of the book is written
as follows:
••• Radio broadcast demonstration
was made by Nathan B. Stubblefield in
1892. He
was the first person to transmit the voice by air
without the aid of wires. He gave a public
exhibition of his invention on January 1, 1902; and
on May 30, 1902, in Fairmont Park, Philadelphia,
Pa., his voice was heard a mile away from the
transmitter. He obtained patent No. 887, 357 on May
12, 1908, but because of his idiosyncrasies he did
not permit knowledge of his invention to be spread
abroad. Inability to obtain a fabulous sum for his
invention swell as fear of imparting its secret
before the patent was granted, deprived him of the
fame which by right of priority should have been
his. (Kentucky Progress Magazine. Vol. II No.
7).
•••
Second, on page 529, a listing in the RADIO
TELEPHONE section of the book is written as
follows:
•••
"Radio telephone marine demonstration of wireless
telephony was held on board the steamer Bartholdi
on the Potomac River, March 20, 1902. The apparatus
and equipment used were the inventions of Nathan B.
Stubblefield of Murray, Ky."
