As the son of a poor shoemaker and an alcoholic laundry woman Hans Christian Andersen could barely go to school until the Danish King Friedrich VI, who recognised his talent, enabled him to go to Latin school and university.

After joining the regiment in Indiana at the beginning of the civil war, Ambrose Gwinett Briece was not promoted to captain as he expected. In his disappointment he flipped a coin; the alternative was lieutenant or journalist. His satirical articles in the paper „Sunday Examiner" made him famous.
