Description
Master Inventor: How Howard Colman Created a Multi-National Corporation was written by the late Jon Lundin. Originally intended as a remembrance book for the Colman family, Jon's vision and passion for history caused him to create a memorable (and highly readable) personal and professional biography of the man who began inventing while still a child, carrying that talent into adulthood and accumulating 149 patents along the way. His stature as an inventor and his fame in the world's industrial community contrast sharply with the very private personal world in which he spent his life in Rockford.
