Mowry and Arthur May Mowry is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative explores the significant contributions of American inventors and the impact of their inventions on society, focusing particularly on the evolution of tools and technologies that transformed daily life. The opening of the book sets the stage for understanding the importance of inventions in overcoming the challenges posed by nature. It discusses the essential role of fire in human advancement, describing historical methods of heating, cooking, and providing light. The text emphasizes the progression from primitive practices, such as using open flames and candles, to more complex technologies like stoves and kerosene lamps. By illustrating the uses of fire and heat as foundational elements of civilization, the authors aim to cultivate an appreciation for the inventions that have shaped modern life.
