Publisher description
Excerpt from Conquests of Invention: Cyrus H. McCormick, Elias Howe, Thomas An; Edison, William Murdock, Robert Fulton, Guglielmo Marconi, Charles Goodyear, George Westinghouse, Eli Whitney, George Stephenson, James Watt, Wilbur and Orville Wright, Alexander Graham Bell
This volume is an attempt to present in a clear readable form the story of some epoch-making inventions. Its only claim to "a place in the sun" rests on the care which has been taken to consult and sift all available material, and to select that which is likely to prove interesting and significant to the general reader.
The author wishes to acknowledge gratefully valuable assistance given by employees of the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of Congress; also by Mr. J. O. Martin of the Bell Telephone Company, and Miss Louise T. Latimer and Miss Ethel Bubb of the Public Library of the District of Columbia. Especial thanks are due to Miss Cornelia Whitney, teacher of history in the Washington Normal School, for help in the preparation and revision of manuscript and index, and for many vitally helpful suggestions.
