According to some, the most famous Polish guy ever, his was a remarkable life. His name endorses the first ever Zloty bank-notes and one of his residences constitutes the smallest unit of the national park system in the United States. He willed away a large part of his American estate for the emancipation of slavery, however for various machinations, the will stayed unexecuted.
In Krakow, Poles from around the world financed and voluntarily built a memorial mound in his honor containing urns of earth from all the battlefields that he fought in Europe and America. Noticing a certain resemblance to this structure, in another continent, an apex point was named after him by another freewheeling Pole.
