That's what I call really romantic!  I bet his wife really appreciated his thoughtfulness! Did Edison bring the morse code machine on their honeymoon, or did he actually talk to his wife in person?  Well, I guess we'll never know!This is a concise biography of Thomas Edison, jammed with a lot of interesting facts about this great man. For instance, besides the loss of hearing by Age 12, Edison only had 3 months of formal education.  That is certainly inspiring!  I also didn't know that his wife would become upset because Edison tended to fall asleep at the lab and not come home!  But not to worry, couldn't he just send her morse code, "Sorry, dear, I'll be late for dinner?"Some other funny or inspiring accounts:♦ Shuts down Chem Lab when He accidentally starts Fire on Train!♦ Inspiring story of a great man. "After as many as 10,000 failed experiments, on October 22nd, 1879, Edison finally made a breakthrough with the incandescent bulb."► RATING OF KEY FEATURES ◄♦ Readability: Well-written.♦ Quality of Photos:  Appreciated the historical pictorials, such as the "Dictaphone" scene.♦ Quality of Table of Contents: Extensive.
