Great Americans documents the lives of ordinary Americans with extraordinary names -- creating a fascinating composite portrait of the country.

Great Americans chronicles Ottesen's journey across America to photograph and interview regular people -- who happen to share names with our nation's most famous and infamous icons.  In revealing black & white photographs and in their own words, these great Americans (one from each state) talk about their lives, their adventures under these famous monikers, and how they feel about living in this country today.  Browse the book, or purchase a copy by clicking here.
