If you look through the science books, you don't ever hear the name "Warren de la Rue".
In short, he may have, but Edision is still going to be remembered for it. |
In that case the science books are written by people who dont know what they are writing about, i dotn really see that as an exucse for calling the light bulb an america invention.
