O brave new world/that has such people in it. William Shakespeare, 1564-1616
I've fictionalized several events, including the trial of Tom Edison for the murder itself, Jeb’s graduation from Cornell University as one of the country's and world's first electrical engineers, and Sarah's graduation from Syracuse University a one of the first female journalists. Other fictions that could easily have taken place are conversations between Alfred Southwick and Elbridge Gerry, Jeb, and Doctor Bleyer, and Tom Edison and Harold Brown. Otherwise, the characters and events are real and based on contemporary sources.
