Ok, here goes. -Born on April 25, 1767, this man served with distinction in the French revolutionary and Napoleonic wars. -Being wounded at least 37 times in his life, he was notoriously reckless with his own personal safety and ended up as the most wounded marshal of the first French empire. -As général de division and serving alongside Massena, he famously personally captured an Austrian battery position guarding the Mincio passage in December 1800 and subsequently added one of the cannons to his personal collection. - In 1805 he was given command of the grenadier réunis-an elite group of soldiers which would later be renamed after him. Nicolas Charles Oudinot |

Yes! Now it's your turn. For being such a remarkable figure in history, there isn't a whole lot that is written about him but I found this good article that give a brief overview of his life. Take a look if you're interested. www.napoleon-series.org/ins/scholarship97/c_oudinot.html |

He was born in Detroit in 1902 and died in Hawaii in 1974.
His wiki bio lists him as an American... military officer, author, inventor, explorer, and environmental activist.
A staunch and vocal anti-interventionist, he resigned his commission as a Colonel in 1941 after Roosevelt publicly questioned his loyalty.
He applied to be recommissioned after Pearl Harbour but was declined on the orders of FDR, however he still managed to see combat as a civilian in the Pacific theatre for 6 months in 1944.
He was commissioned as a brigadier general in 1954 on Eisenhower's recommendation.

Haha a lucky guess really. I knew he was born in Detroit sometime around the turn of the century and had controversial political views, but I wasn't really sure about the rest.
Anyway, this person was most active in the 1820s.
-Despite being a professor of anatomy and physiology at the University of Leipzig, he's most well remembered for his contributions to the field of psychology
-He developed what is known as the "Two-point Threshold" - the minimum distance required between two points of contact on the skin in order for a person to distinguish between them
-He also is credited with discovering that the ability for a person to discriminate between two weights did not depend on the absolute difference of weight, but rather on a proportional relationship. This would later become a law that bears his name and is represented by the equation: jnd/S = k

tomoyuki, maybe another hint? I'm not that great with memorizing scholars.

-This person is credited with being the founder of experimental psychology - an important moment for the field since it solidified it as a science rather than exclusively as an art. -in 1821, he launched a series of experiments on the physics of fluids in 1821 with his younger brother Wilhelm. This research was the first detailed account of hydrodynamic principles in the circulation of blood. He continued his research on blood and in 1827, he made another significant finding. He explained the elasticity of blood vessels in the movement of blood in the aorta in a continuous flow to the capillaries and arterioles. (I lifted this directly from Wikipedia) -He was born on June 24, 1795, and died January 26, 1878. -A few of his publications include: - Ueber die Anwendung der Wellenlehre auf die Lehre vom Kreislauf des Blutes und insbesondere auf die Pulslehre (English: "Concerning the application of the wave theory to the theory of the circulation of the blood and, in particular, on the pulse teaching")
- Wellenlehre, auf Experimenten gegrϋndet (English: "Wave Theory, Founded on Experiments")
- Der tastsinn und das gemeingefühl (English: "The sense of touch and the common sensibility")
Unfortunately, there wasn't much of anything that he did outside of the academic world that is really note-worthy. He was obviously a very smart person, getting his MD at barely 20 years old, and he stayed as a professor at the University of Leipzig from 1821 all the way up until his retirement in 1871. |

A good guess! But no, Schrnhorst died in 1813.

I feel like this has gone on for long enough so if you want to know the answer, just highlight "Ernst Weber".
So here is someone a little (by which I mean a lot!) better known.
This person was born on the island of Corsica and was raised to be a Corsican nationalist in the face of French occupation, although he would eventually turn his loyalty in favor of the French. GO!
