Michele Wehrwein Albion, former assistant curator and registrar at the United States Holocaust Museum, was the first professional curator of the Thomas Edison and Ford Winter estates in Fort Myers, Florida. She lives in Dover, New Hampshire.
Finally, a smart but highly readable account of one of Florida's most famous snowbird couples! Mina and Thomas Edison were rock stars in sleepy Fort Myers, and Albion does a great job re-creating their lives that were lived beneath the banyan trees. Both entertaining and educational. - Ad Hudler, author of All This Belongs to Me and Southern Living. ""Fills a significant gap in the inventor's career by using local sources as well as the extensive collection of the Edison Papers to tell the story of his work, recreation, and influence in the city where he built his winter home."" - Paul Israel, author of Edison: A Life of Invention ""Albion paints a highly personal portrait of daily activities in the Edison home, including tarpon fishing, Model T expeditions into the Everglades, research with tropical plants, and a visit by the President of the United States."" - Tomas Graham, author of Flagler's St. Augustine Hotels
