THOMAS EDISON TO THE RESCUE by Howard Goldsmith

When Thomas Edison was young, he saved the life of Jimmy MacKenzie, the son of MacKenzie- the telegraph operator of the Mount Clemens Railroad Station. Mr. MacKenzie offered Edison a hundred dollars as a reward but he refused it, asking if Mr. MacKenzie could teach him how to operate a telegraph instead. Mr. MacKenzie agreed and thus began Edison’s lifelong career on electricity.
