Ok, I know that I need help on my homework sometimes, but when I do, it's only a problem or two. This looks like you just wrote out your whole worksheet of all the people you had to look up. It's fairly easy.......Just go to Wikipedia and type in the people's names and it will have facts/trivia about each person.

I can give you just a couple of facts, but not one for everyone.
Christopher Columbus kept two sets of books recording the journey to what he thought was America. One set told the truth about what was happening, and another set was made to sound really optimistic. He did this because he thought if the crew knew the truth there would be mutiny.
Lake Champlain is named after Samuel de Champlain, and some people believe there is a monster in it like the Loch Ness Monster, except they call this one Champ.
