John Dalton was a British chemist and physicist. He was born on September 5, 1766, in the small town of Eaglesfield in England. Then at 12 years old Dalton opened his own school in Eaglesfield. Due the poor pay he closed his school down after two years.

The 12 years that Dalton was helping his brother at Kendall, he worked on improving himself. He also worked on his math and science skills.

When Dalton was 26 he bought his mother some stockings. He thought they were blue but really they were scarlet. His brother also thought that the stockings were blue. Dalton was the first person to record colorblindness.

In Daltons first book, Meteorological Observations and Essays, he stated that each gas exists and acts independently and purely physically, rather than chemically. Then in 1802, he did a group of experiments and then came up with the law of partial pressures. Also, in 1803 Dalton stated his law of multiple proportions.

In 1808 Dalton published his book, A New System of Chemical Philosophy, Part 1, in which he first stated his atomic theory. This atomic theory was greatly rejected because of lacking of experiments and that some people didn’t want to accept the new theory.

Dalton died on July 27 1844, of a stroke. As a last request he donated his body to get an autopsy to figure out about colorblindness. He was buried with kingly honors, and was viewed by more than 400,000 people. The city further honored him with a large statue and a monument.
