Your Morning Amerigo
For Wednesday, July 2nd, 2025
Week 121 of our regular morning feature here at Friedman of the Plains Worldwide in which we highlight the great words and works of great men and women, as well as those who are insufferable, delusional, and even fictional.
This Week Amerigo Vespucci
