Author Eric D. Lehman chronicles the lives of two dozen men and women who left their marks on Connecticut and the world as a whole. Noah Webster, Charles Goodyear, P.T. Barnum and Katharine Hepburn all have Connecticut in common. Like so many other residents, they had an inventive spirit and drive that changed the course of history for the rest of the state.

Some, like Frederick Law Olmsted and Sol LeWitt, changed our perception of the world.
