If you could travel back in time and become a historical figure, who would it be? Feel free to choose more than one.
First to my mind is Christopher Columbus... how cool would that be? Even though he made several errors it would have still been awesome to be a part of all the exploration and discovery.

Off the top of my head, I would say Amelia Airhart. She was a true heroine, opened things up for women just by showing how much women can do.
Another one I would be is not a specific person, but a group. I would love to have been one of the women fighting for the right to vote.
I've also thought about being one of the settlers of Utah, and realized I would have died along the way to Utah, so I'll just be happy being one who reap the benefits of their hard work. Though I think it would be cool being one of the women who donated to the penny fund and sewed clothes and took food for the men working to build up the cities they founded.

Amelia Erhart is cool.
I was thinking that it would have been exciting to have been a Cherokee (we are part Cherokee) in the frontier times. Sad I'm sure with The Trail of Tears and all but before that when it wasn't so bad for them.

I'd have to go with Neil Armstrong. I was pretty young, but I clearly recall watching on television when Armstrong walked on the moon. I was also glued to the set for all of the subsequent lunar landings. I loved the notion of space travel then and I love it now. Given the opportunity, I'd go in a heartbeat. The Apollo astronauts have been life-long heroes of mine.
 Yeah, I'd like to be in their shoes.

^ That's good one Drago. I'd give my left foot to go into space.
