If you click on the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hall_of_Fame_for_Great_Americans <br /><br />you will see the complete list of people elected to the Hall. Since most elections were done in the first half of the nineteenth century, we don&#39;t see many women on the list. And some of the names of women who were elected are unfamiliar to us today.<br /><br />TerrieTerrie Farley Moranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04980849018232866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7818123252981343255.post-5185564510569118142009-12-09T13:50:31.144-05:002009-12-09T13:50:31.144-05:00It was your Women of Mystery title that caught our attention. As I read you post I enjoyed learning about this particular Hall of Fame I knew nothing about - being from the West Coast. I am by no means a feminist, but what I found missing were all the great women of our American history. <br /><br />Enjoyed your blog.

I grew up on Long Island and I&#39;m very familiar with Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens, but the Bronx and Staten Island remain unknown territories. The Bronx is becoming less and less unfamiliar to me thanks to you, however.Elaine Will Sparberhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678727606822464947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7818123252981343255.post-89060692503698842502009-12-07T12:54:17.752-05:002009-12-07T12:54:17.752-05:00Another cool spot in NYC. I&#39;m a relative New York newbie, so I try to forgive myself for not knowing so many of these wonderful spots packed among the multitudes. This looks like an elegant and careful memorial to historic Americans. So glad our Irving and Poe also made the cut!

I have read that he was a proud American, devoted to the concept of States Rights not Federal Authority. <br /><br />Those ideas are still at constant loggerheads.<br /><br />TerrieTerrie Farley Moranhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04980849018232866773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7818123252981343255.post-74361137634798747582009-12-07T10:18:34.128-05:002009-12-07T10:18:34.128-05:00That&#39;s extremely cool. And it&#39;s always fascinating to see what people others think have made great contributions. Like you, I am surprised by Robert E. Lee&#39;s inclusion, but on thinking about it I fully agree with the decision. Unlike some of the other names on that list, I recognize his name and I doubt it is ever apt to be forgotten.Laura K.
