"George Westinghouse: His Life and Achievements" by Francis E. Leupp is a very glowing account of this remarkable inventor and industrialist. Lacking the annotation of a definitive biography, its value as an historic work is somewhat questionable. It is often hard to tell whether the author is relating firsthand accounts or possibly romanticizing events. The slightly awkward text is also short on factual detail and historic tie-ins, and though a story reasonably told, will not satisfy the more serious-minded history student. Though Leupp's work does have some interesting photographs, "A Life of George Westinghouse" by Henry G. Prout appears to be more detailed and scientifically oriented, though it also lacks attributable sources.
