American history is full of influential icons beyond count, and while plenty of these individuals have seen themselves immortalized decades and even centuries after they've passed, others still struggle to reach the fame and glory of their peers. On the latest episode of 4Thirty, Ben and Pat open up the history books once again to discuss some incredible heroes in American history, focusing primarily on those who never really received the recognition to match their actions. The guys also handle their usual dose of 'odd-news' this week, while also talking some football and sharing a few holiday tales along the way. Was a 'Mad' general really at the forefront of America's victory against the British in the Revolutionary War? Is a famous Apollo astronaut still contributing to space exploration even today? Does the entire concept of 'home-entertainment' stem from the industrious accomplishments of a single American? Is a Canadian sports complex about to be named after a recent, controversial, public figure? For answers to these questions and many more, please give the latest episode of 4Thirty in the Morning a listen!
