This review is from: Young Thomas Edison (Paperback)
I read the 1958 edition as a kid, it was one of my favorite books. Well written, and thrilling. I'm glad we had Mr.Edison before this current age of stifling government regulations and endless laws and taxes.Highly recommended for kids and adults.
