"At 7, my teacher thought I was a dunce and requested that I be removed from the school. But my mother believed that God had a special plan for me. Though I did not have my mother very long, she cast over me an influence which lasted all my life. The good effect of those years that she taught me at home I can never lose. If it had not been for her faith in me at a critical time in my experience, I should very likely never have become an inventor." -Thomas Edison This third book in the Boys of Grit Series tells the inspiring true stories of men such as Abraham Lincoln, Booker T. Washington, the above-mentioned Thomas Edison, Washington Irving, Henry Ford, and many others!
