The Life Of John Ericsson, Volumes I and II, by
William Conant Church
John Erickson (1803-1899), the superman and mechanical engineer
of the Industrial Revolution.
John Erickson seemed to be light years ahead of
everybody both physically and mentally as he stepped into the
developmental stages of steam power, military armaments and naval
architecture. He was the right person at the right time and the right
place in history. He helped humankind speed ahead powered by his
cutting edge innovations.
He was a humanitarian who wanted to share his
creative achievements for the betterment of all revealed his Swedish
heritage.
The book spans an action packed long lifetime of
monumental achievements.
Philosophical, political and personal insight into
a transitory period in the coarse of human events from the speed of
the horse and buggy to the speeding steam locomotive that Erickson
stood at the forefront of.
John Erickson made his mark in world history as
one of the superstars.
I truly loved the book and its powerful messages.
FIVE STARS
Unfortunately the digital addition I was able to
obtain was poorly converted from the original.
