Frederick McKinley "Casey" Jones was a man we should all know about. He was a self-taught genius--though his parents abandoned him at 12. He ran away from his orphanage at 17.
He had 60 patents to his name, though he probably should have had more. The refrigeration units he invented for trains and trucks, ALONE, should have guaranteed him lasting fame!
