Thomas Edison was born into a hardworking yet caring family. He faced difficulties in school and lost his hearing at a young age.

Born on February 11, 1847, Edison would go on to become one of the most famous American inventors in history. His invention of the light bulb was just one of over 1,000 patents he acquired throughout his life. Other notable inventions included the phonograph, the electric power grid, and motion pictures. His groundbreaking work revolutionized how we see and hear the world around us.

Some of the topics explored in this book include:

  • America Before Edison
  • The Edison Family's Arrival
  • Edison's Mother and His Early Years in Port Huron
  • Telegraphy and Leaving Home
  • Inventing the Future at Menlo Park
  • The Industrial Revolution and Lighting Up New York
  • Edison's Lasting Impact
  • And much more!

Thomas Edison seems to be remembered these days either the man who invented the light bulb or the man who didn't.

Without knowing any more about him, you are either giving him false praise for something he didn't do or not taking into account all the other work he did.
