Confessions of an Eccentric Dreamer: An Autobiography - Softcover
For author Peter James McLean, life was just one adventure after another. In Confessions of an Eccentric Dreamer, he shares a captivating recollection of his life, dreams, adventures, and foibles. This memoir narrates how his adventures began at age sixteen and continued until age ninety-two during which time he worked and retired from the New York Central Railroad; developed a money-saving, water softening device to clean steam engine boilers; and invented and patented toy guns, an electro-magnetic water conditioner, a system for increasing gas mileage in automobiles, a system to extend oil life in a combustion engine, and another for high-production water distilling equipment. Confessions of an Eccentric Dreamer also tells how McLean researched sunken ships in the Great Lakes and invented a waterscope to explore the ships and how he cultivated a lifelong love of prospecting and mining for uranium, gold, silver, and other minerals in Ontario. Sharing stories from his long and colorful life, McLean inspires would-be adventurers to go out and live. The words “cannot be done” and “impossible” were not a part of his vocabulary.
