Alexander Graham Bell was born in Scotland in 1847, but when he was a young man of twenty- three he moved with his parents to Canada. Before the year was over, young Graham had left his family and gone to Boston, the USA. Although Bell was a dreamer, he was also a practical thinker and a man of action.
