I don't know the specifics, but it was bad enough that he couldn't get out of bed for six weeks after that happened.
Still, a lot of Dane's other experiments were successful, and he dreamed of making more.
In 1863, when Nicola was just seven years old and Donnie was 12, Donnie went on a horseback ride.
At some point, the horse bucked, Donnie fell off, and he was killed in the fall.
As you can imagine, the entire family was shaken by the tragedy.
But Nikola took it especially hard.
After his brother's death, he ran away from home and hid in the woods to deal with his emotions.
He only stayed away for one night, but for months afterward, Nikola had terrible nightmares.
And in them, he watched his brother fall off the horse and die again and again.
Nicola hadn't actually seen the fatal fall.
He'd only heard about it afterward.
But the dreams were so vivid, it felt like he'd actually been there.
Well, one day he picked up a book by someone he'd never read before, an author named Mark Twain.
By the end of the day, Twain was Nicola's new favorite author.
He loved the story, and now his goal was to read every single one of Twain's books.
When Nikola told his parents about his newfound passion, they noticed that he seemed stronger.
The color had returned to his cheeks, he was breathing easier, and he wasn't even running a fever.
It was like his illness had suddenly disappeared after just one day of reading.
When Nikola's doctors came to examine him, they asked if he'd done anything that could explain his sudden good health.
Nicola wondered if maybe he now had a greater will to live, like he felt he had to survive long enough to get through all of these incredible books.
