Overview

A list of the 50 Greatest Americans will inevitably be subjective and open to argument. There can be no defined parameters of greatness and the list would be ever changing as time goes on. How can we compare greatness and achievements in one field with those in another? However, while it may well be that greatness is something that is difficult to define, I think we all know it when we see it. This list is simply my list, today. It was William Shakespeare in Twelfth Night who said Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them. There are some of all of these within this book. The purpose of the book is to provide a glimpse into the thinking and circumstances that made these people great, through their own words. Whether they were born great, achieved great things or lived in challenging times that demanded greatness can perhaps be seen through their thoughts which summarized their view of the world they were living in. It is a glimpse into the minds and thinking of the people who molded the United States of America and made it the great country that it is today.
