People From The Past

June 5th 2009 17:53
The world we live in today has been shaped by the personalities, traits, passions and beliefs of those long gone. I am going to try and give an insight into some of the historical figures from the past. Some may have lived thousands of years ago, others will be from nearer our own time.

Each profile will, hopefully, show a brief history of their life and give an account of their achievements. Some may be good, honest individuals whilst others may be of a ruthless nature.

In all walks of life; in every culture; every age, there have been those who have helped make their world a better place. Unfortunately there have also been individuals born with a destructive egotistical attitude. I am sure you will know who was good and who was evil and I'm sure there will be readers with differing views concerning each person profiled.

I am no historical expert; I am doing no more than profiling from various accounts I've read or have been taught. There will be no set pattern to the profiles; no timeline, no specific culture, but I will where possible, end each profile with my own thoughts on the character.

The facts contained in each profile will have been gathered from a variety of sources, not least my old history books and from within a dear old friend of mine - the public library.

If anyone believes I have wrongly stated any facts I would be grateful if they would leave a comment so I can address and correct any mistake.

I hope you enjoy the various reads.

Lawrie
