Engineering Invention: Frank J. Sprague and the U. S. Electrical Industry, 1880-1900
This book covers Edison as a person, as well as his accomplishments. There is also a lot of information about Henry Ford, as well as the rest of the Edison family. Several bios that I have read lately delve too much into accomplishment and circumstances without really giving insight into the person. This book avoids that pitfall.
