    About this ebook

    Strap yourself into your time machine and get ready for a wild but educational ride through the last two centuries. Today, we will be observing the lives of twelve notable men who made an impact upon our culture, each in his own unique way. These twelve guys all let us know they were here. Our world would not be the same today without them. These twelve guys, coincidentally, all had the first name of Charles.
     
    History leaves us interesting anomalies sometimes. If you were born between 1800 and 1950 and your parents named you Charles, there seems to have been a higher than normal chance you would do something big with your life - for good or for ill.
     
    You are about to learn some important lessons, and have a good time while doing it. You will become inspired. You will shake your head in utter disbelief as you review the lives of men such as Charles Darwin, Charles Lindbergh, Charles Manson, Charles Spurgeon, and Charles Schwab. You will laugh, you will get pissed off, and you might even shed a tear. Pick this one up today and become a lot more interesting at your next cocktail party.
