About this book

Maker of Machines: A Story About Eli Whitney (Creative Minds Biography) by Mitchell, Barbara. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781575056340.

Eli Whitney’s love of inventing and pondering new ideas made him one of America’s greatest inventors. Best known for inventing the cotton gin, one of the most important American inventions of the century, he changed cotton production forever. A few years later, Whitney invented machines to make muskets that were identical. The first mass-manufacturing business in the country, his musket factory revolutionized the way Americans made things.
