I think the reason we are not taught about him in school is because he was not a natural born American. He emigrated from Croatia.

I think it has to go deeper then that Einstein was born in Ulm,Germany. Von Braun was also born in Germany.

I agree, but why this historical bias towards Tesla? It had to be more then where he was born.

Supposedly Tesla did have a death ray, and thought it would be the weapon that would end all wars. So the story goes, it was what caused the Tanguska explosion in 1908, and he said it was too powerful and dismantled it. But I highly doubt that is what happened. The explosion was caused by a meteor.

The Tanguska explosion occurred on June 30, 1908. But Perry did not leave to reach the North Pole until Mid July, so the dates do not match. So I don't think he had anything to do with it.
