    What, you don't think he's well known enough, or you want me to scrounge up a link for you?

    He had a miniseries devoted to his story on PBS, so I think he counts.

    I went to wiki first to see how to properly refer to him, so it would be clear who I was talking about and took the title they were using. What would you call him?
