Frederick Douglass

Frederick Douglass

From slave to world-famous author and advisor to Presidents, Frederick Douglass proved that the American Dream could and should apply to Americans of all colors. He became the most famous abolitionist of 19th century America with a simple message, "we are all brethren."
Napoleon Bonaparte

Napoleon

We tell the story of a Napoleon Bonaparte. Born on the island of Corsica to parents of Italian descent, this foreigner to France who didn't even speak the language until he was ten years old somehow grew up to the most famous Frenchman in all of history. This is the story of how he did it.
Teddy Roosevelt

Teddy Roosevelt

Perhaps America's greatest peacetime President, Theodore Roosevelt was a man of contradictions: a sickly child who came to symbolize strength and virility; a child of wealth who fought the wealthy on behalf of the common man; a New Yorker who made himself a cowboy; a hunter who built the national park system; a man who enjoyed war but accomplished peace. Connecting the dots between these seeming contradictions is a fascinating story, the story of Theodore Roosevelt.
