Summary: Well-written first book for author Burden
Comment: Did you know that Professor T.S.C. Lowe was the first aerial reconnaissance pilot? For two years during the U.S. Civil War he used a hot-air balloon to spy on troops during battles. He became know as the "most shot-at man in the War." This detail is one of many things I learned about a little-known, but amazing engineer in our country's history. Burden's writing style is clear and concise, yet never dry. Not only has she researched Mr. Lowe and his work, but one feels she has really gotten to know him as a person. The photo and drawing reproductions in the book were well-chosen and served to illustrate the inventor and entrepreneur's hard work and dedication to science.
