One of history's most prolific inventors and perhaps America's first celebrity, Thomas Alva Edison did more than bring incandescent light into every household and industry; he created a world-renowned brand, raised capital to support research and business and pursued patents for his 1,000+ inventions. Leonard DeGraaf, archivist for the Thomas Edison National Historical Park, chronicles Edison's life and work, making lively and lavish use of never-before-published primary sources, including Edison's personal and business correspondence, lab notebooks, drawings and advertising material, along with both historic and modern photographs. 600 10 $a Edison, Thomas A. $q (Thomas Alva), $d 1847-1931. 650 0 $a Inventors $z United States $v Biography. 700 1 $a Gates, Bill, $d 1955- $e writer of supplementary textual content. 941 $a 5 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010014708.0 952 $l NLPA993 $d 20211006145646.0 $m 621.30 DEG 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20180605012234.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20140710013652.0 952 $l ZYPE837 $d 20140401093653.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1F7DEFC2623211E396B554BBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
