Doc John Remembered More in Song than History Books (43) Remembered More in Song than History Boo 24 Mar 08

There was recently a thread about Admiral Benbow. I'm sure he's remembered more in the songs than in the history books; in fact if you look him up in Google, there's more information about the pubs! Sir John Franklin may well be another example of this effect. Can 'Catters think of any other examples - people, events, places etc.

NB None of those young people who in a recent survey in the UK thought Sherlock Holmes existed and Winston Churchill was a fictitious character should add to the thread!
