Abstract:

Reginald Fessenden, one of America's great inventors, spent two years on the coast of North Carolina conducting experiments with wireless. At the same time two other inventors were working nearby--the Wright brothers. However, when North Carolina approved raising $100,000 for a monument to Fessenden, hardly anyone in the state knew who he was or what he did.
