Discover how Edison built upon earlier failed attempts, assembled a dream team at Menlo Park, and revolutionized everyday life through electric light. We'll explore the lesser-known inventors who paved the way, the fierce patent battles that followed, and the infrastructure Edison built to power a brighter future.
