Who are some underrated people in history?

View all responses

I have done quite a bit of reading about history. To me, this person is easily the most underrated, considering what he accomplished as a founding father of the US and how he died. He escapes history a bit because of people like Washington, Jefferson, and Adams. He was also not a president and walked away from politics. It is Alexander Hamilton. I have included my book review here.

The “Old Guy in the Coffee Shop” Fund

Supporting my work helps keep this retired guy out of trouble and away from the TV—tips and pledges are always appreciated.

About Kevin, I spent 40 years in FinTech before retiring to

Rio de Janeiro to trade software releases for a front-row seat

to the beautiful absurdity of life in Brazil. This blog is my digital

porch, a place for unpolished commentary on book reviews,

daily gripes, and the random thoughts of a guy who finally has

the time to pay attention. I’m an observant realist with a deep

appreciation for history, a good quote, and the perspective that

only comes after the career ends. I write to stay sharp, to stay

honest, and to keep the conversation going.
