""The Naphtha Revolution shows the importance of the Naphtha Launch not only to boating but to the American and world-wide revolution of individual empowerment. It's fascinating. It's full of brilliant profiles of those captains of industry, including John Jacob Astor, who went down in the Titanic, and the men Matthew Josephson called 'Robber Barons.' How these money men treated inventors now clearly seems to be one of their major failures."" --Charles G. Houghton III, President, Electric Launch Company
