It was made from a piece of printer's type mounted on a little iron. The typewriter was invented in the state of Winsconsin, in the town, Milwaukee. Sholes also invented the Qwerty keyboard, which were seperated to prevent jamming of popular used letters of the alphabet.

After many years of creating the typwriter and Qwerty keyboard, Christopher Latham Sholes, died in his bed on Feb. 17th 1890.
