On April 27, 1791, Samuel Morse was born. Morse developed in the 1830s what became known as Morse Code, the primary language used in the transmission of messages using an electric telegraph machine.

The telegraph, using Morse Code, is intimately tied to the development of Sacramento starting in the 1850s. In 1854, the Alta Telegraph Company built a telegraph line between Sacramento and Nevada City. Other lines started to connect Sacramento to other cities in California. On October 24, 1861, the first transcontinental telegraph message was transmitted to Sacramento, ending the Pony Express overland mail service two days later. California was finally able to receive news from the east coast within hours rather than 10 days by the Pony Express.

Construction of the transcontinental telegraph line began July 4, 1861 in Missouri. The nearly $500,000 project was largely made possible by the passing of the Telegraph Act of 1860. The telegraph made Sacramento the hub for communication between California and the eastern United States. California newspapers became more up to date on national news as well.

For today, Jared typeset SACRAMENTO in 36 point Cheltenham Bold Italic font. Luckily, the typecase had enough dashes and periods. This was printed with black rubber base ink using our Washington hand press.

We have officially reached a viewership level that has never been obtained by another museum before! All of us at the Sacramento History Museum are in disbelief.

We would have never thought that our institution, a small nonprofit museum in Sacramento, California, could reach this many views, but we are incredibly thankful for all of those who take the time to watch our videos and for your support.

In this video, Howard letterpress printed a headline announcing “Sacramento History Museum Reaches One Billion Video Views On YouTube” while using our Washington hand press, which was manufactured in 1852!
