Invention USA

An exciting part of America's economic and industrial history has been written by amateur inventors, often working in their backyards and garages on "the next great thing." From the Wright Brothers to Steve Jobs to John Pembleton creating Coca-Cola in a backyard kettle, it is often the common man inventing his dream that has changed history.
