Thomas Edison, the inventor of the electric light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion picture camera can easily be indentified as one of the greatest inventors of all time. In his era, Edison was considered brilliant above all standards and everything he seemed to do was held in the highest regard as if made of gold. Yet, even the most ingenious minds always seem to be accompanied by a touch of madness. There was indeed a side to Edison that only the most unfortunate would see, a side that was…
