Childhood
Patrick Derragh was born on August 24, 1887. On October 18, 1887, when Patrick's father, a friend of Eadweard Muybridge, was filming a film (a Phono-Film, as it synchronized with a phonograph playing the sound), Patrick said "I love you, hi, I love you very much." while staring at the camera (he crawled). The film ran out of film after 11 seconds while they cheered. Those were Patrick's first words, said at an early age. However, the cylinder was up to 2 minutes. By 1891 he could write poems (but he dictated them as he didn’t know how to write).
