The United States, ever since its inception, has recognized innumerable Americans, be they native-born or newly arrived immigrants, for their unique contributions to their nation's history and heritage. Many have been bestowed with honors. Many are legends, their memories forever cherished. Yet, there are so many other important American contributors that tend to be lesser-known or sometimes overlooked when examining the events of the country's past.
This book accounts for 105 mini-biographies, each highlighting the life of a lesser-known contributor, their achievements, influences and impacts on America's development. A picture of many faces, from many places, from many walks of life.
