On one such occasion, he felt the need to get up during the night to use the outhouse...actually it was an out teepee.

And he had great difficulty finding and using the facility because of the darkness.

So the next day he ordered his assistant to string wire to theout teepee so that he could install a socket and a light bulb toilluminate the facility at night.

Because of this, people in the travel business to this day do notrecognize Edison for his many great inventions, but rather celebrate him as the first man to: *wire a head for a Reservation*.
