The History Book Club discussion

This was a suggestion that another member had made and right now I am not sure who that was. But I will go through the Legacy of Ashes and jot down the names of all of the important personages/events/locations/organizations/adversaries, etc. mentioned making sure that we have discussed them before the end of the book.

This index will identify these folks and what chapter they are introduced or appear in the various chapters and links to threads or folders where they are explained, identified, and discussed.
