In 1899, Nikola
Tesla, a brilliant man who was instrumental in developing the electrical
empire that shapes our world of today, lived and conducted research in
Colorado Springs. Tesla came to the
Pikes Peak region to conduct different experiments, primarily to find a way
to transmit electrical power without the use of wires. The high, dry climate
was ideal for his work. The tale of this exceptional scientist and unusual
man comes to life in Inez Hunt and Wanetta Draper’s book Lightning In His
Hand: The Life Story of Nikola Tesla. The story by Hunt and Draper will
appeal not only to readers interested in the growth of electrical power in
the nineteenth and early twentieth century, but for the study of an
eccentric, visionary scientist who found Colorado Springs a perfect lab for
his experiments. -
