"Albion, former curator of the Edison and Ford Winter Estates, writes with an eye for extraordinary as well as ordinary details, from the difficult task of lighting Fort Myers in the late 1880's to family expeditions up the Caloosahatchee River and into the Everglades."

"Succeeds as a rich and interesting portrayal of Thomas and Mina Edison's work, recreation, and community activism in the Sunshine State."

"In The Florida Life of Thomas Edison, what seems like a tiny, obscure topic that would only prove interesting to utterly unapologetic history nerds turns out to be a quirky, fun, sprawling portrait of late 19th and early 20th centure life."
