Few men during their lifetime come anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deep wells of strength that are never used.

Behind every legend, strange to say, can be found a kernel of truth, a group of facts around which the legend was built.

Richard E. Byrd (1888-1957) was an American naval officer, aviator, and explorer of both polar regions.  He was born in Westchester, Virginia.
