Banvard's Folly by Paul Collins

Tales of Renowned Obscurity, Famous Anonymity and Rotten Luck

Banvard's Folly History will always remember the Edisons, Einsteins and Darwins: they succeeded in changing the world, and the world has repaid them by enshrining their names. But what of those others with similarly revolutionary and groundbreaking ideas who plummeted into oblivion? They are gone and forgotten, until now. This title tells of the lives of 13 "losers", who achieved great heights in their lifetimes, only then to meet crushing defeats.
