1. Start by clicking the Encyclopedias tab to the left. Use Grolier (NBK or GME) to get started.
2. When you have finished gathering and printing information from the Grolier encyclopedias, try biography.com for another source. Click "Printable Version" when you're ready to print that.
3. Think your person said something that's become a famous quote? Mr. Iatrou suggests Quoteland.com. We can't promise that there's something here for your famous American, but it's fun to check!
