Hall of
Lesser-Known Legends
A lesser-known legend is someone who is not a household name, but who lived big and on their own terms. Not all these legends were good people (although some definitely were). Many of them were riddled with idiosyncrasies, contradictions, and demons. However, not one of their stories are boring.
