Ah, but you skipped over Benjamin Franklin, master of many fields including politics, science, inventions, printing, public works and wooing many women including royalty around the world (besides fathering children). Invented lightning rod, bifocals. Public institutions like fire departments, libraries, schools owe what they are because of him.
First postmaster general, musician and inventor of the Armonica instrument.
He could probably be considered the American Di Vinci for all the many facets of human works he learned. He is truly an American figure who deserves to be studied and remembered.
