1. pick someone that lots of people have written books about, tons of materials on line and in the library – Abe Lincoln, George Washington, Clara Barton, Harriet Beecher Stowe… these folks have had tons of time elapse since their time and everything they’ve done has been evaluated and written over, and over.

2. Pick someone you know a bit about but want to learn more – or someone who is famous but you know nothing about them. these folks may be more interesting – but will take a bit of time. Margaret Sanger (birth control), Edgar Allen Poe (writer)

Go to the library and look through reference books of biographies – or read the shelves for biographies..

once you get into it it will go faster… good luck
