Just how historical and how much of a character do you need. Historical suggests dead. Doesn't give you much walking to do. Easy to follow.
If you follow Jesus, as is often suggested in these pages, you have the same problem; He is deadd (sort of). There is not much more to learn if you are already conversant with his book, You know the story, you know the climax, you know the finish. You've seen the films and own the teeshirt.
You might find that the history of His dreary criminal fan club goes on and on. Church history has all the complexity, the great heros, noble women, bathos, pathos, and magic. It has the added attraction of being mostly knowable and true. The other story has bigger problems scolastically.

Theodore Roosevelt. He knew what needed to be done and was not afraid to piss people off in order to accomplish it. He found innovative solutions to difficult problems. If it wasn't for TR, the Grand Canyon would probably be populated with McMansions for the nouveau rich. When Congress wouldn't go along with his desire to make it a national park he declared it a national monument. He needed congressional approval to make it a national park but it was within his rite as the president to make it a national monument. Usually, national monuments were buildings. But he said, look, it has a foundation and walls, the basics for a building, therefore it's a national monument. He also was the first president to recognize that if we didn't start preserving land there would be no open spaces left to preserve.The land he put aside as open space during his administration is equal to the size of today's east coast.
When he was the Mayor of New York and some KKK'ers wanted to hold a rally at a large and famous hall in NYC, he allowed it to happen. At the time, the KKK was nearly as prejudice of the Irish Catholics as they were of African Americans. So TR got up at the rally and appeased both sides. He said, I assure you all that these gentlemen from the south will be completely protected by this group of NYC police officers. He then went on to introduce the KKK members to their protectors, officers with names such as O'Reilly, Finnigan, Flannigan, Corkery, etc.

none of the above ha ha I follow no man, I follow my own path and my own dreams. But if you must emulate try the paths of the Pharoahs, or Caesar, or Alexander, they played follow the leader well, leaders with a bunch of followers like an entourage. Or the Beattles? Well not John Lennon, but the rest I guess. Or how about JFKennedy? Myself I truly admire Bugs Bunny and that little rabbit I will follow from hole to hole ha ha

Che Guevara. He was driven by a passion to help others, and saw that the only way to truly free the human race from oppression was to make a revolution. He played a vital role in the success of the Cuban Revolution, but then (instead of living out his life in Cuba), went on to support people in other countries with the aim of creating an international revolution. Unfortunately, it was because of his desire to help others that he was murdered by the CIA while working with peasants in Bolivia. Che is a great example to follow.

Your dear Che that you probably wear a T-shirt with his face on it was also a murderer and a thug. The CIA did fund the forces that "murdered" him (not as if he didn't do enough of that himself) but they surely didn't kill him themselves. It was probably the one good thing the CIA did for humanity.
I'm sorry, and no offense,but Che Geuvarra is one of those people you watch college "socialists" revere (and ironically, slap his face on t-shirts and sell him, a capitalistic nicety) and yet don't realize what kind of person he was.
