Kevin Duffus Explores the Origins of American Radio in New Book
Historian and author Kevin Duffus has released a new book titled 'The Inventor Reginald Fessenden and the Origins of American Radio on North Carolina’s Outer Banks.' The book challenges long-standing assumptions about the birthplace of modern wireless communication, suggesting that the Outer Banks, known for the Wright brothers' flight, also played a pivotal role in radio's development. Duffus argues that Reginald Fessenden's experiments in North Carolina were as transformative as the Wright brothers' achievements, laying the groundwork for modern broadcasting.
