On this page you will find a list of Wikipedia articles, one for each of the important people in US History from 1607 to 1877. You don't need to read all of the articles all the way through, but you should at least read the introductory paragraph(s) for each person and then skim through the rest of the article to see if you can identify the thing(s) each person did that warranted their inclusion in our course of study. Be sure to take some time to study their pictures -- our brains process images better than words, so attaching pictures to the names will help you remember who they are and what they did.
