But it was Josie Cory, the author of this volume, who has pulled together in one place, the databases you need to make history-clinching research decisions quickly and accurately. All Documents Are "Numbered" Chronologically as to give the reader a place in time throughout history, thus maintaining a good understanding of what was taking place as the years progressed. For example, a document numbered [070513] simply means that the event took place in the year 1907, in the 5th month of that year, and on day 13 of that month.

Because there Are So Many Stubblefields, involved in radio and modern-day radio and television, all have a listing within the index section.

Such a mind we call a genius. Such a geographical area is referred to by science fiction writers as a Corcancave or as a Tommyknocker. Such a conclusion is called an invention

Such a mind was given to Nathan B. Stubblefield, such a geographical area was given to Murray, Kentucky -- and such an invention was the radio.

As a society, we move so fast to replace the old with the new -- that oftentime yesterdays headlines are today's products; for instance Stubblefield's 1892 wireless telephony demonstration is today's radio, and his yesterdays wireless telephone and water batteries is today's cellular wireless telephone, wired wireless and automobile radio. This Book, However, is not only about Stubblefield and Murray, Kentucky; it is also about the inventors, scientists, the family of Stubblefield, and corporate gurus who make up the pieces of the puzzle that helped develop the radio, television, telecommunications, and multimedia worlds -- from the early 18th century up to date.

It's difficult to say exactly why certain inventors and geographical areas accomplished and produced what they did, when they did, other than to observe that all of the men which make up the SMARTDAAF BOYS are characterized by a rich mix of spiritual religious individuals, from small towns -- who read Scientific American. The Results Of Their experiments & demonstrations are interesting, fascinating & astonishing -- especially Stubblefield & Murray, Kentucky. As you follow the chronological eras, as categorized in this volume, you will discover that people who were born within a 250 mile radius of Murray, have set and are still setting the musical trends, positions on issues and eating habits that are embraced by both the broadcasting/recording industries and consumers that buy electromagnetic products and view its programming throughout the world. For instance, Nashville, Tennessee is the capital of "Country Music" (located about onehundred miles south of Murray); Kentucky Fried Chicken and Popcorn originated from Kentucky; Elvis Presley; Diana Sawyer; Little Richard; Burt Reynolds and Eddie Fritz, Jr., the past president of the National Association of Broadcasters, are just a few of the personalities who came from the Murray Delphi area. It Has Taken Many Years of research and investigation to piece together all of the facts, fables, fiction and truths -- to free Volumes I and II, from the effects of biased reporting.

The methodology which the authors have devoted to the study of radio, telecommunication, the south and Nathan B. Stubblefield is a unique situation -- and a tremendous analogy exists between Stubblefield and Show Biz. You'll find there's as much as a thinline between Stubblefield's talents as an inventor, father, showman, businessman and the farmer of corn and chickens, as there is between today's radio, television, motion pictures, popcorn and Sanders Kentucky Fried Chicken -- for without one, you might not enjoy the other.
