I had 14 siblings in Massachusetts, and never got past elementary school. My father died when I was 21, and I made an investment with my inheritance that started me off on an illustrious career. I created something specific that McDonald's uses exclusively to this day. From the proceeds of that, I moved to California, where I did most of my work. I am well known to school children, who read about me as exemplary of a famous American who made good.

We're a set of brothers who were 19th and 20th century figures. We launched a business concern in the 1880's which is still going and its name is familiar to all. Our products were often related to prevailing cultural events, one was related to the Alaska gold rush, one was related to the Spanish American War, but by far our most successful product was the one we came out with in the 1930's, related to the depression, it became and remains the best selling and most famous of all similar products. The product is something which may be enjoyed by the whole family and requires at least two people to use.

I earned my fame and my nickname in China. I was sent to resolve difficulties in such trouble spots as Palestine, Darfur and the Congo. My government assigned me to a post to defend it, then abandoned it, and I was killed two days before relief arrived.
