A Treasury of Foolishly Forgotten Americans

I enjoyed this book despite the lackluster, frankly horrible, narrator. I liked the standalone stories and even knew the story of one of the characters, Clement Valandigham. That being said, there's nothing about this book that makes it anywhere near a "must read." It's more of a take it or leave it sort of book. 
If you have the time, it's a decent book.
