Example: Biography of Thomas Edison
Thomas Edison was born on Feb. 11th 1847 He was mostly educated at home by his accomplished schoolteacher mother. He read many books and at the age of 15 after saving a child from a train accident, the father taught him to run the telegraph machine, Edison then worked as a substitute telegrapher for those who were called up to serve in the Civil War.
One of Edison's first inventions was an electronic voting recorder, but the Massachusetts legislature wasn't interested because they didn't want the votes to be counted quickly! The next invention Edison sold netted him $40,000, a lot of money in 1869, it synchronized stock transactions. With this money in his pocket, Edison went to work as an inventor, and the rest is history. Edison held 1000 patents the most famous of them the incandescent light bulb, and the phonograph.
