Peter the hermit? Leading a rabble of poorly armed but devout Christians to be slaughtered by Turks? Him I think we can do without. Give me Tancred or Raymond!
I included Peter for his role in stirring up enthusiasm for the First Crusade. But we don’t have to go back that far. Leonard Wood, who would be a Republican candidate for president, and Black Jack Pershing also successfully fought the Muslims in the Philippines.
