Amazing Americans Quiz

Posted on 06. Jan, 2010 by charles in Countries, Entertainment, People, Self Development

Great stories about Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn flowed from his pen. Can you name him?’  That was a question I put into a quiz on Amazing Americans. Some people had a good idea of who he was, but what about the following.

Most messages were carried on horses until I developed the new communication telegraphic communication system that enabled people to get news at the press of a button in the mid 19th century.’ What was my name?

Here is another one. ‘I was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean.’ Who was I?

Also, who do you think had the following experience?

‘Arriving in New York, I had no money and was lucky to borrow one dollar from a friend.  I returned to the city many years later as a multi millionaire as a result of my inventions, such as the phonograph and the electric light.’ Can you name me?

Not many people answered all the questions correctly. I am writing a book on Amazing Americans, due out later this year, and there are many great achievers featured. I will post the answers to the quiz tomorrow. Hope you have a good memory or you can research the answers. Please leave a note on my blog of your answers.
