James watt
History of the inventor
Sarah K. Bolton, Thomas H. Marshall, Andrew Carnegie
Résumé
The history of inventors is generally the same old struggle with poverty... The history of James Watt, the inventor of the steam-engine, is no exception to the rule of struggling to win.
He was born in the little town of Greenock, Scotland, 1736. Too delicate to attend school, he was taught reading by his mother, and a little writing and arithmetic by his father. When six years of age, he would draw mechanical lines and circles on the hearth, with a colored piece of chalk. His favorite play was to take to pieces his little carpenter tools, and make them into different ones. He was an obedient boy, especially devoted to his mother, a cheerful and very intelligent woman, who always encouraged him.
