Edison was home schooled and later self educated. No university can claim him. His first interest was chemistry. He had two businesses of his own before he was 14. What profits he didn't give to his mother he spent on chemicals and lab apparatus so he could duplicate experiments he'd read about. In the movie with Mickey Rooney as the young Edison he gets cuffed about the ears by a railroad conductor for having made nitroglycerin aboard the train. Not true, That was Hollywood. He did make nitro once later in life. The train incident involved an accidental phosphorous fire. I’m doing the narration of a book about Edison that I’ve posted to the Internet Archive.
