-David Sobel, Childhood and Nature
"In 1862, at the age of 15, Edison got his first job as a newspaper boy at a train station in Mount Clemens, Michigan. One day, while hawking newspapers, Edison noticed a 3-year-old boy playing on the tracks, right in the path of a runaway freight train.... The quick-thinking Edison jumped on the track, swooped up the boy in the nick of time, and then dove away from the speeding train.
"The action not only saved the boy's life, but it changed Edison's as well. The boy's father happened to be the station's telegraph operator. He was so grateful to Edison that he took him under his wing and trained him in telegraphy, sparking the inventor's lifelong love affair with all things electric."
