So if my choices don't pass muster with the gallery, go easy, they're important to me!
With my first pick, I submit in the Explorer/Discoverer category:
William Clark of the Corps of Dscovery.

Such an underappreciated event in American history. The expedition was an unbelievable success in almost every way. It is the reason why Thomas Jefferson is my second favorite President.
Great pick Moe. It is quite a thing for me to look down on the Yellowstone, and later at Three Forks and think that 200 years ago these amazing people were on this spot.
I do it every time I go by.
