I picked this up for a dollar at the bookstore in the city, and I thought it would be a really interesting book. It is a collection of short biographies about supposedly forgotten Americans. The problem with that is that it included plenty of people that were not forgotten. Tecumseh, Sitting Bull, Peggy Shippen, etc. I was highly disappointed in this book, and I would not recommend wasting time on it, even for a bathroom book. It was a major let down.
