No ... Alexander Graham Bell was a Canadian. He came to Canada at the
age of 23. The first practical, long distance telephone call was made
on August 10, 1876, by the then 29-year-old Alexander Graham Bell from
downtown Brantford, Ontario to his assistant in Paris, Ontario, a
distance of about 10 miles.
