The third book in Bassett’s Invention Series sets Ted’s own story, with a flood and a brush with anarchists, around the true history of Thomas Watson, the young workman who built devices for Alexander Graham Bell. Bassett drew on Watson’s own account of the telephone’s birth and on Edwin T. Holmes’s memoir of the early business.

Readable history wrapped in fiction for young people curious about how great inventions began. Download the free EPUB.
