His father had been owner and editor of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Barnstable_Patriot" title="The Barnstable Patriot">The Barnstable Patriot</a>,</i> and his two elder brothers followed into his footsteps. At early age Goss had developed an interest in engineering, and build model steam engines from scrap in his father's print shop. He maintained the prime mover in the shop, and installed a steam engine in a small boat at the age of 17.<sup id="cite_ref-prudue_1-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-prudue-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 1877 Goss was among the first students of a new two year practical mechanics course at the <a href="/wiki/Massachusetts_Institute_of_Technology" title="Massachusetts Institute of Technology">Massachusetts Institute of Technology</a>.
