In the 177 years since it was first published, Jared Sparks' biography of John Ledyard remains the best source on the life of the explorer who has come to be referred to as "America's Marco Polo."  The book was the culmination of ten years of effort and travel on the part of Sparks and it set a precedent in historical research.  Sparks would go on to be a Harvard professor, serve as that college's president, and write and edit many other works on great Americans.  Today he is included in any "Who's Who" volume of American history.

<p>As outspoken in his day as Richard Dawkins or Christopher Hitchens are today, American freethinker and author ROBERT GREEN INGERSOLL (1833-1899) was a notorious radical whose uncompromising views on religion and slavery (they were bad, in his opinion), women's suffrage (a good idea, he believed), and other contentious matters of his era made him a wildly popular orator and critic of 19th-century American culture and public life. As a speaker dedicated to expanding intellectual horizons and celebrating the value of skepticism, Ingersoll spoke frequently on such topics as atheism, freedom from the pressures of conformity, and the lives of philosophers who espoused such concepts. This collection of his most famous speeches includes the lectures: [ "The Gods" (1872) [ "Humboldt" (1869) [ "Thomas Paine" (1870) [ "Individuality" (1873) [ "Heretics and Heresies" (1874)</p>
