To All: Purchase or borrow a copy of THE POWER MAKERS = Steam, Electricity, and the Men who Invented Modern America. Maury Klein tells the many tales of how we were transformed from an agrarian nation to an industrial super-power. With consummate skill Maury Klein recreates their [extraordinary cast of characters] stunning triumphs, and frequent failures, and their unceasing bare-knuckled battles in the marketplace. Once started, you cannot put it down. Enjoy. All the best, Hank Rentschler
