Marie Curie
Curie was an extraordinary scientist and physicist who conducted groundbreaking research on radioactivity, which she actually coined during her tenure in the laboratory. She was also a fascinating woman. Curie, who was born in 1867, was the first woman to be awarded the Nobel Prize. Eventually, she added another to her collection, making her the first and only woman in history to receive two honors at the same time.
Ichabod Crane
Colonel Ichabod Crane was a career military officer who served in the United States Army and the United States Marine Corps for a total of 48 years, including two tours in Vietnam. As a child of the American Revolution, Crane lived through multiple wars, including the War of 1812, the Patriot War, and the Black Hawk War.
