Yea I know that there have been conflicting stories as to whether he died destitute or if he died rich. It was even questioned if he was married or not.
According to what I have seen on the web so far, Tesla had a principal research assistant by the name of Artur Matthers. Mr. Matthews is said to have settled in Quebec Canada after Tesla's death in Januray 1943.
It has been asserted that Matthews was Tesla's son who was born in 1890.
The article I read metions an exchange of letters between an author who was working on a book about Tesla and Matthers in the early 1980s. The author had sent drafts of some of his work to Matthews for comment and Matthews replied with disagreement telling the author to read Tesla's patents, lectures, and writings if he truly wanted to learn about who Nikola Tesla truly was.
BTW, in doing some research about Montauk Point and its military occupants, Wing Walker learned that the radar antenna installed and still standing on Montauk Point is from a Sperry radar, model AN-FPS/35. It was installed around 1960, long after Tesla's death.
Telsa's lab on Long Island also has a historical significance as the building was designed by the American architect Stanford White. It was located about 20 miles from Riverhead, Long Island, New York, on Warden Clyffe Road. That is a considerable distance from Montauk Point. Additionally, it was built years before the U.S. Army opened a facility at Montauk Point and called it Camp Hero.
