G. Burdette http://forgottennewsmakers.com/2010/06/28/sarah-rosetta-wakeman-1843-%e2%80%93-1864-female-soldier-in-the-civil-war/#comment-287 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:52:01 +0000 http://forgottennewsmakers.com/?p=296#comment-287 Her story is interesting and extremely sad. I remember reading An Uncommon Soldier and when I found Wakeman had died during the war, it came as a surprise.

]]> Comment on CLARENCE KING (1842 – 1901) White Geologist, Black Husband by Kevin Dixon http://forgottennewsmakers.com/2011/06/17/clarence-king-1842-%e2%80%93-1901-white-geologist-black-husband/#comment-284 Thu, 29 Dec 2011 23:05:22 +0000 http://forgottennewsmakers.com/?p=565#comment-284 This is a very interesting web site.
I started with Josephine Cochrane (invented the dishwasher), then picked an article at random, Clarence King.
However I spotted one typo in the King article.
King started selling off some of f his art collection, (spot the extra f).
I enjoyed reading both articles and will return to read more.
Thanks.

]]> Comment on QIU JIN (1875?—1907) Chinese Feminist by George Pang http://forgottennewsmakers.com/2010/11/18/qiu-jin-1875%e2%80%941907-chinese-feminist/#comment-283 Wed, 28 Dec 2011 21:30:48 +0000 http://forgottennewsmakers.com/?p=449#comment-283 Dear Debbie:

Qiu Jin is in our textbook as a great woman who got killed in the revolution for modern China. Many people know her brave feats but not as a feminist. To my opinion she should be listed as one of the heralds for modern China. Thank you.

George
