Episode 2: Edison in Louisville

Thomas Edison lived and worked as a telegraph operator for 18 months in Louisville. This episode covers stories from then until his death in relation to the River City. 

Edison with phonograph in 1878, 10 years after living in Louisville and five years before his dynamo and bulb system lit up the Southern Exposition.

A close up of the Above Edison photograph and one of Matthew Perry as promised. 

Example of Edison's "vertical style" writing he perfected in Louisville for telegraph recording.

What Edison looked like towards the end of his life. I'd like to know if that couple in the 90's saw this man or the one pictured at the top.
