Edison
Thomas Alva Edison, born in Milan Ohio, is one of the greatest inventers and masterminds of our time. On February 11,1847 an intellectual hero was born. He will discover and developed what is known as electricity. By far, I believe, this was his most notorious discovery. Thomas lived in Milan for the majority of his child hood. He had six brothers and sisters, three of which died as young children. His mother, Nancy, was a teacher and was known to be a very sweet and gentle person. His father, however, had a hot head and a short temper. This same man rebelled against the Canadian government and forced to flee the immediate area. Thomas's middle name Alva was given to him after his fathers friends name. People soon began to call him Al for short.

That same year on Christmas day, shortly after his mother passed on, he married Mary Stillwell. As Al grew older he began to experiment with electricity. He attempted to create friction by rubbing two cats together. He did this by putting wires on the cat's legs. Those were just some of Edison's inventions. Soon after that he began to create electric cars. . However, they had very short run times and needed to be charged very often. bsent-mindedness was when he went to the bank to cash a forty thousand-dollar check. He completely forgot his name. To make a long Biography short, Al had many jobs. When he was 14 he had a job as a newsboy and overheard scores of people talking about the Battle of Shiloh. Al convinced a telegrapher to spread the rumor of a great number of casualties. On an average day he would procure
