As far as I know are the Chinese the first papermakers - around 100 a.Ch. The Egyptians used their papyrus, but the real paper invented the Chinese. Around 1144 the knowhow of paper came finally to Europe. And the first paper-mill in USA was located in Germantown PA. - GERMAN !!! Our neighbors. The busy Krauts. Very informative dokumentation.
