I know who that is, but only because I did some research for a piece
of art work about Charles Guiteau and stumbled upon that photo.

A significant person and life story, but I was over forty years old before I ever heard of him.

The photo is Chester A. Arthur. The 21st President of these United States from 1881-1885. He succeeded President Garfield after his assassination.

Dorence Atwater,.
Strange that I was taught about Clara Barton in school and even
knew about Andersonville, but learned about Atwater decades later.

The prison guards at Andersonville received the exact same rations as the inmates.
RE: Persons Flying Under The History Radar - South Carolina Duke - 06-16-2014 01:29 PM
Wirz was also unjustly tried and hanged. The eye witness for the Federal Government was a fraud and deserter from the 7th New York. Revisionist history!
RE: Persons Flying Under The History Radar - AngryAphid - 06-16-2014 02:50 PM
I didn’t know there were any Andersonville apologist left.
RE: Persons Flying Under The History Radar - South Carolina Duke - 06-16-2014 03:02 PM
Northern Prisons were far worse and the US policy towards POW's were inhumane. Not apologizing just stating fact. Felix de Labaume was a fraud, coward and liar.

Oh yes. There are multitudes. If a referendum were taken, I'm not sure Mississippi wouldn't secede again.

James J. Hill, one of the railroad tycoons, perhaps the best when it came to strictly running a railroad - whom you rarely hear about.

This man is perhaps the most unrecognized important person in all of human history. I doubt that even one person in 10,000 could tell me who he is via picture alone, and probably not to many more could identify what he accomplished.

Highlight for answer:
Because of his achievements to prevent hunger, famine and misery around the world, it is said that Dr. Norman Borlaug has "saved more lives than any other person who has ever lived."

You mean Norman Ernest Borlaug?

Only a biologist would wear a straw trilby while taking notes in a field of tall grass.

Peter Cooper
Known: designed and built the first steam locomotive.
Unknown: developed the first powder gelatin - precursor to jello.
Quote:In the mid-19th century, gelatin was so in-demand that there was a need to make the creation of it easier. Who wanted to take the time to boil cow hooves each time you wanted a gelatin mold at the dinner table?
So, in 1845, Peter Cooper, devised a way to make gelatin more accessible by making large sheets of it and grinding it into a powder. He applied for and was granted a patent (US Patent 4084) for a gelatin dessert powder he called "Portable Gelatin" requiring only the addition of hot water. Despite the future economic windfall a gelatin powder would provide, Cooper didn't market it nor did much of anything with his invention. He sold the powder to cooks on occasion, but never commercialized it beyond that.

Speaking of walking on the moon, and since this is an adjunct to a sports board, one bit of interesting trivia is that more men have walked on the moon that have scored against Mariano Rivera in post-season play.
The last stop on Mo's farewell tour was Houston. I really thought it would have been a great promotion for the Astros to bring in all the living men who have walked on the moon and all those who have scored runs against Mo in the post-season.
