    Yes, sorry, after I posted I went through the whole topic and had to drop seven names. You already replaced two of them, so that leaves five names. But I also found that Miles Davis appears twice in this thread, So I need to come up with 6 new names: Francesco Pizarro Bartholomé de Las Casas Thomas Paine Pocahontas Hernando de Soto Peter Minuit I also had to replace Voltaire on page 55 with Hernán Cortez. To have the right number now: 999648: Marcel Marceau
