Edison retires to study science after vast career
Thomas A. Edison, hailed as America's father of invention, has retired from active work to pursue pure science for enjoyment. At 61, he tours the country with chemistry quests, plans a Florida home, and travels with family, while his workshop in Llewellyn, New Jersey, sees less use. His life story spans telegraphy to phonograph, incandescent light, and hundreds of devices that shape the modern home.
