Biography

Benjamin Boardley (March 1830 – 1904) was an American engineer and inventor. Benjamin's correct surname was Boardley, but since 1859 when the African Repository published an article wrongly spelling Benjamin's surname as Bradley, authors have written about him with the incorrect surname.
