Nikola Tesla People
Relatives, friends and associates of Nikola Tesla
Leland I. Anderson
Mr. Anderson is considered the first and foremost expert on Nikola Tesla of our time. From the early 1950s until the mid-2000s, he collected and published his research, including an original lecture thought to be lost and court transcripts which revealed many previously unknown details about both the Colorado Springs experiments, as well as Wardenclyffe.
His collection is now housed in the Senator John Heinz History Center.
