Famous Homeschoolers

Have you ever wondered about some of the famous people who have been homeschooled?  I know Kiddo and I have so we did a little search and this is some of what we found. . . . .

Each name has a link to information you can find about them at Wikipedia, plus books you can get about their life and work.  These would make great unit studies for your homeschool student or just make for interesting reading.
