Forgotten Americans (15 Footnote Figures Who Changed American History) - Hardcover

2006 Barnes Noble hardcover, Nancy Nahra and Willard Sterne Randall. The authors contend that most American historians have neglected to tell the story of individuals whom the authors say played crucial historical roles. They identify 15 of these "footnote" figures from early Colonial times to the end of the 19th century, focusing on a number of fascinating individuals whose stories are not widely known, some undoubtedly for ethnic, racial, or gender reasons but others because their significance is questionable. - Amazon
