The Greatest Nobodies of History

History may be written by the victors, but to get the real story sometimes you have to ask the nobodies. Whether it’s Julius Caesar, Buffalo Bill or Henry VIII, the lives of history’s greatest heroes have long dominated the history books, and bored generations of high school students in the process.
