"First Out, My Life at the Cog Railway 1974 till 1986," a period during the heyday of steam trains on Mt. Washington when Jon worked as a brakeman, Fireman and Engineer for approx. 12 years.
The second book is "Edison Light, A Beacon to the World" about the life of Thomas Alva Edison whose main contribution was the invention and promotion of the electric light as well as inventing the phonograph, the movies, scotch tape, the mimeograph, the research library, parts of the telephone and so much more. Jon delights in talking about when Thomas Edison came to North Conway.
