Book Synopsis

James Newton's Uncommon Friends is "a delightful portrayal of five great men who shared special friendships and common visions" (Booklist).Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone, Alexis Carrel, and Charles Lindbergh were twentieth century giants known personally by very few. In this compelling memoir, James Newton recalls a lifetime of friendship with all of them -- a friendship that began when he was only twenty years old and head of development of Edison Park in Fort Meyers, Florida.Based on Newton's diaries, recollections, and extensive correspondence, Uncommon Friends is a unique opportunity to share a view of the personal side of some legendary historical figures.
