Table Concept
 For the period 1840-1869, list as many cool things that a “Man of Action” might have been involved in as possible. Keep it to historical events, but you can be fanciful with the details a little (i.e. putting mercenaries where they weren’t, etc.). I’m using the List of Wars 1800-1899 page at wikipedia as a jumping off point for ideas, but non-war activities are also totally fine on this page. Tally Ho! -DY</li></ul>
