Edison's rise from humbe beginnings and his unceasing struggle to overcome obstacles illustrate the spirit of America. His genius and investigative methods shaped the future and continue to influence new generations. With consistent historical depth and engaging narrative style, Heroes of History chronicles the remarkable true stories of fascinating men and women who changed the course of history.
