Just interested in learning about some of the lesser discussed misconceptions about historical figures. Everyone knows about Thomas Edison, but I'm more interested in hearing about people who were equally as famous but those whose "fame-stealing" isn't' as widely known.

Guglielmo Marconi wasn't the first one to demonstrate radio. Tesla publicly demonstrated it at a world fair years earlier.
