ZeroTolerance 582 Posted May 23, 2018 21.6 - John Ford - Director John Ford (February 1, 1894 – August 31, 1973) was an American film director. He is renowned both for Westerns such as Stagecoach (1939), The Searchers (1956), and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), as well as adaptations of classic 20th-century American novels such as the film The Grapes of Wrath (1940). His four Academy Awards for Best Director (in 1935, 1940, 1941, and 1952) remain a record. One of the films for which he won the award, How Green Was My Valley, also won Best Picture. In a career that spanned more than 50 years, Ford directed more than 140 films (although most of his silent films are now lost) and he is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential filmmakers of his generation.[2] Ford's work was held in high regard by his colleagues, with Orson Welles and Ingmar Bergman among those who have named him one of the greatest directors of all time.

vuduchile 1,941 Posted May 23, 2018 21.? Jesse Owens - Athlete. When I was a kid, I was playing softball with my dad and some other press guys in downtown DC. There was an old guy signing autographed books near the field and I asked my dad who he was. So, he took me over and introduced me to Jesse Owens. Jesse signed a Guinness book of world records and handed it to me. On the way home, my dad told me all about him and how he pissed Hitler off at the Olympics. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

5-Points 2,727 Posted May 23, 2018 21.8 Stephen Foster - Composer Stephen Foster, 1826-1864 The Father of American Music was born in Pennsylvania and wrote more than 200 songs, including two state songs (Kentucky’s “My Old Kentucky Home” and Florida’s “Old Folks At Home”) and popular tunes such as “Oh! Susanna,” “Beautiful Dreamer” and “Camptown Races.” “Foster is regarded as the first professional American songwriter,” Sampson says. “I still see his music regularly performed in chorale ensembles.” Foster earned little money with his songs because copyright laws of the era provided limited protection. When he died in New York City at age 37, he was sick and impoverished. His worn leather wallet contained 38 cents in Civil War script, three pennies and a penciled scrap of paper that read, “Dear friends and gentle hearts.” 22.1 George McClellan - Fock Up McClellan at Antietam (1862)In September of 1862, Robert E. Lee led 40,000 Confederate soldiers into Maryland in an attempt to bring the war to the North. Standing against him was the Army of the Potomac, commanded by George McClellan. During the march, Lee divided his force, sending Stonewall Jackson with half his army to Harper's Ferry to capture the Union garrison there and protect his supply line. On September 13, a Union corporal stumbled upon a piece of paper wrapping three cigars in an abandoned Confederate camp. It was a copy of Lee's orders with details on his army, its deployments, and the objectives. McClellan realized exactly what Lee was up to and told his aides, "Here is a paper with which, if I cannot whip Bobbie Lee, I am willing to go home." And then, in typical McClellan fashion, the general convinced himself that his 95,000 troops were outnumbered by 18,000 Confederates. McClellan first advanced on the Rebel positions on September 15, and waited another two days to begin the assault. It allowed Jackson to rejoin Lee and doubled his numbers. A quicker attack with all the available Union force might have destroyed the heart of the Confederate army and possibly ended the war. Instead, the ensuing twelve-hour battle on September 17 effectively resulted in a stalemate with 23,000 casualties between the two sides. Lee withdrew the next day; McClellan took over a month to follow Lee back across the Potomac. Some historians estimate that McClellan's conduct at Antietam added as many as two years to the war. In early November, an exasperated Lincoln relieved McClellan of his command and indeed sent him home for the rest of the war. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vuduchile 1,941 Posted May 23, 2018 22.2 Cornelius Vanderbilt One of the first and best remembered tycoons, Vanderbilt, better known as the "Commodore." was the classic entrepreneur, he never attended college and did not even finish public school, dropping out at the age of 11. At first he worked with his father and then launched his own ferry service between Staten Island and New York City at the young age of 16. He quickly succeeded at this endeavor and pushed for even greater heights, entering the steamboat business in 1829 by launching service between New York City and Peekskill. This earned him the nickname "Commodore," where he became legendary as a no-nonsense businessman. As his success blossomed he eyed the railroad industry and in 1863 took control of the New York & Harlem. He oversaw significant growth of the NY&H and laid its future foundations as a world-class carrier. He changed the railroads name to the New York Central & Hudson River when he merged the original New York Central with his own Hudson River Railroad. He continued stringing together properties, including the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern, until reaching Chicago Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZeroTolerance 582 Posted May 23, 2018 22.3 - Crazy Horse - Native American Crazy Horse (c. 1840 September 5, 1877) was a Native American war leader of the Oglala Lakota in the 19th century. He took up arms against the United States federal government to fight against encroachment by white American settlers on Indian territory and to preserve the traditional way of life of the Lakota people. His participation in several famous battles of the American Indian Wars on the northern Great Plains, among them the Fetterman massacre in 1866, in which he acted as a decoy, and the Battle of the Little Bighorn in 1876, in which he led a war party to victory, earned him great respect from both his enemies and his own people.
