Answers1. Real. Ettore Boiardi simplified the spelling of his last name when he started selling canned

sauces and foods.2. B. Bartles and Jaymes are fictional characters devised by the E & J Gallo Winery to sell

wine coolers. (Sir Henry Morgan is 17th Century privateer; In 1974, Curtis and Martha Bourgeois purchased 15 acres of property in Rocheport; and John Walker was a Scottish grocer who sold his own blend of whisky)

3. Real. Sam Wilson owned a company that sold barrels of beef to U.S. soldiers during the War of 1812, stamped "US" which the soldiers joked must have stood for Uncle Sam. 150 years later, Congress officially saluted "Uncle Sam Wilson" as the progenitor of America's national symbol.

4. Fictional. This railroad spike-driving hero of folklore is said to have worked himself to death winning a contest against the new steam hammer. Although such a contest may have actually happened in the 1870's or 1880's, and although there were hammer men named John Henry, attempts to reconcile the name with the time, place, and event have been post-hoc efforts.

5. Real. John Jones, a train engineer from Cayce, Kentucky, died in 1900 trying to stop his train before a collision. While others jumped, he stayed at the brake and was the only person killed

6. Fictional. Although most Swiss believe he actually did take his famous shot in 1307, historians have found too many other versions of the exact same tale in other cultures from other centuries to give the William Tell version any special credence.

7. Fictional. The only voyages this seagoing adventurer took were in Western translations of One Thousand and One Nights.

8. Sara Lee9. Real. In the 1880's, the Hatfields lived on one side of the Tug Fork river and the McCoys

lived on the other. The McCoys got the worst of it, losing nine members until the law arrested eight Hatfields, hanging one and imprisoning the rest for life.

10. Fictional.
