Epilogue: "Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse made a powerhouse out of Niagara Falls, paving the way for electricity distribution on an unprecedented scale. Unable to profit consistently from his brilliance, Tesla died in debt, alone, in room 3327 of the New Yorker Hotel. In 1911, The American Institute of Electrical Engineers awarded George Westinghouse its highest honor: The Edison Medal. Before he died, Westinghouse burned all his personal papers, wishing to be remembered solely through his deeds. After losing the War of the Currents, Thomas Edison was awarded patents for the kinetograph and the kinetoscope, inventing a new industry: motion pictures. Upon his death, the country dimmed its lights for one minute in his honor."
