Edison’s Early Trials as a Newsman and Inventor
The excerpt recounts Thomas Edison’s rough start as editor and publisher Pierre Sarah Tooley notes his ventures in journalism. Edison operated a migrant printing office in a repurposed Grand Trunk railway luggage van titled The Grand Trunk Herald. It describes a later project Paul Pry where Edison’s prying humor angered readers. A phosphorus accident damaged his lab and train work, forcing him to leave the platform. The episode ends with Edison’s sense of hopelessness as his belongings and paper vanish on the rails.
