With 1,093 U.S. patents to his credit, Thomas Edison was one of
history's most prolific and influential inventors. His Menlo Park
and West Orange, New Jersey, laboratories pioneered industrial
research and produced the first phonograph, practical incandescent
electric lamp, and motion picture camera. Edison was also an
entrepreneur who created dozens of companies to market his
inventions, and he played important roles in the creation of the
electric power, sound recording, and motion picture industries.
Edison was also one of the first modern celebrities. The 200
photographs in this book, selected from the Edison National
Historic Site archives, portray Edison's long career, from his
earliest experiences as a railroad newspaper vendor and telegrapher
in the 1860s to his last important research project in the late
1920s, a search for domestic sources of natural rubber. These
photographs provide revealing glimpses as well of his family life
and personal friendships.
