My Heroes
Ya know you can tell alot about a person by the books he reads especially the Biographies.
Here is a few of the People I have gravitated to reading their biographies and related material.
1. Robespierre. – very intriguing.
2. Wild Bill Hickock. – Shot a man in Dodge City for being a Texan. I definitely approve.
3. Daniel Boone – Found KY too crowded at 20000 people. I can relate.
4. Andrew Jackson – Broke the powerful Bank of America and allowed the United States citizenry to prosper, but on the reverse side was responsible for allowing the State Militia of Georgia to displace the Cherokee Nation, even though the Cherokee were long standing allies of the United States.
5. Kit Carson – Faced down a Mob of Seceshers in New Mexico who attempted to pull down the American flag.
6. Eisenhower.
7. Cesar Chavez
8. Thomas Paine – Common Sense and the Rights of Man
9 Samuel Clemens, Mark Twain
anyway, discuss or share some of the people and biographies you find yourself drawn to.

Interesting list! Cackled at the Wild Bill comment… And I only cackle at Halloween. No one fresh or unexpected to add. Except my dog. His joy in every moment has been a lesson to me.
Hi ya Roscoe!!
Why is it every time I see KY I think of jelly?? 😉
As a Californian, you can guess that I love Cesar Chavez. Did you know that he was Vegan?
I like your list.
I’ve always thought Mark Twain was a genius. What’s amazing is the older I get, the more I think genius is an understatement in his case.
