This is the story of a genius who was shunted aside by Europe until America eventually recognized his work. Alfred Bernhard Nobel was born on Oct. 21, 1833, in Stockholm, Sweden and became the inventor of dynamite. His belief in his own invention and his unswerving faith in the potential greatness in this country of ours were typically American.
