    Nikola Tesla was arguably the most gifted scientist and experimenter of the nineteenth century. What he lacked in business acumen he more than made up for in his enthusiastic research of electricity. Read through any literary work on the man and you'll be enthralled if you have an interest in electricity, the scientific method or the resolve of mankind.
This Croatian ushered in the age of electricity which, of course, made its way west across America in the late nineteenth century - lighting, powering and empowering a new world.
