Thomas A. Edison
Thomas Alva Edison is the typical American. From boyhood to ripest manhood he has been keen to see an opportunity, and quick to turn that opportunity to a practical use. His genius is peculiar because it is so American.
By Alice C. Sutcliffe
Robert Fulton
The life of Robert Fulton makes good reading. The story of his belief in and work upon a submarine and his journeys to France and England to lay his plans before the British Government—his steamboat, and the years of study and labor which went toward perfecting it—his paintings—his travels in foreign lands in days when American travellers were few—combine to make one of the most interesting and inspiring books of the series.
