Bamboo and Sailing Ships: The Story of Thomas A. Edison and Fort Myers, Florida is a book written by Florence Fritz that tells the story of Thomas Edison's life in Fort Myers, Florida. The book is a historical account of Edison's life and work in Fort Myers, where he spent winters beginning in 1885 until his death in 1931. The book covers Edison's arrival in Fort Myers, his building of his winter estate, his experiments with bamboo and other materials, and his involvement in the local community. It also includes information about Edison's inventions, including the light bulb and phonograph, and his impact on the world of science and technology. Throughout the book, Fritz provides insight into Edison's personality, his relationships with his family and colleagues, and his contributions to the local community. She also explores the history of Fort Myers and its growth during Edison's time there. Bamboo and Sailing Ships is a well-researched and engaging book that offers a fascinating look at one of America's most famous inventors and his impact on a small Florida community. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science and technology, as well as the history of Fort Myers and the state of Florida.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
