Summary
George Westinghouse is considered America's greatest industrialist and the only man who would go up against Thomas Edison and win. His victory over Edison during the Battle of the Currents set the stage for the entire future of electric power. The Westinghouse air brake is considered one of the most important inventions in history. Automobile shock absorbers, railroad signaling and the modern day weekend all owe their existence to the man who Andrew Carnegie called "A genius who can't be downed." The man was famous for the massive companies he created, but the man was a reserved, creative giant who went out of his way to treat his workforce with dignity and respect
