Leland I. Anderson is a technical writer and electrical engineer who lives in Denver, Colorado.  His long-time interest in Nikola Tesla took root in the early 1950s, and his activities since then have resulted in his recognition as one of the world's foremost Tesla historians.  He founded the Tesla Society and edited the Tesla Society Newsletter for many years, beginning in the 1950s.  His works include the monographs Priority in the Invention of Radio, Tesla vs. Marconi and Ball Lightning & Tesla's Electric Fireballs, and the books Nikola Tesla On His Work With Alternating Currents, Nikola Tesla—Lecture Before the New York Academy of Sciences, April 6, 1897, and Nikola Tesla's Teleforce & Telegeodynamics Proposals.
