In 1837:



The British physicist and inventor Sir Charles Wheatstone and the British electrical engineer Sir William Fothergill Cooke invent the first British electric telegraph. (Sir Charles was a busy man. Amongst other things, he also invented the accordion in 1829 and three-dimensional photographs in the form of his stereoscope in 1838.)

Frontier 1859 takes place in the American Great Basin country, Western Nevada, during the historic era of silver-mining, conflict, and Western settlement. Players will begin their journey alone or working with others, with or without children to care for. The environment will be harsh, authentic, and focused on challenging the lives of your role playing characters...
