From Immigrant to Inventor is the 1923 autobiography of Serbian-American physicist and inventor Michael Pupin, chronicling his life from a rural Serbian childhood to becoming a prominent scientist and educator at Columbia University. The book won the Pulitzer Prize in 1924 for its inspirational story and description of idealism in American science. It details his immigration to the U.S., his struggles, and his academic journey, which culminated in key innovations like loading coils that made long-distance telephony possible. Published September, 1923. Reprinted November, 1923; January, March, 1924.
