Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating history of rubber production in the United States, focusing on the pivotal period between the World Wars when concerns about reliance on foreign sources reached a peak. The author explores the efforts of prominent figures like Thomas Edison, Harvey Firestone, Henry Ford, and Herbert Hoover, who spearheaded initiatives to establish domestic rubber sources and reduce dependence on Southeast Asian plantations. The narrative traces Edison's meticulous search for a suitable plant that could be cultivated within the US, detailing his extensive collection and testing of over 2,000 plant species. Readers will discover the challenges and setbacks faced, including the devastating impact of the South American leaf blight on Ford's Brazilian plantations and Edison's unsuccessful attempts to develop a novel rubber extraction method. This book offers a unique perspective on the intersection of science, industry, and national security during a critical era. It highlights the ingenuity and determination of those who sought to ensure a stable and secure supply of rubber for the nation. By examining these historical endeavors, the book sheds light on the complex factors that have shaped the global rubber industry and the ongoing quest for sustainable and reliable sources of this essential material.
