George Westinghouse, Jr. was one of the many industrialists, entrepreneurs, and inventors that made left a lasting legacy during the Gilded Age in America (1877-1900). Unlike many of his time, he is not one that is automatically thought of in the discussion of this time period. His accomplishments, however, still impact us today. Whether it is his contributions to train travel and automobiles, or the introduction of benefits for his employees, his impact cannot be understated.
