Each of the people in this series were born (MADE) in Germany. Later in life they immigrated to the USA and became citizens of America.  Many of them had a great influence on the USA and the rest of the world.  I hope that each person who completes this series learns a little bit more about how our two countries, German and The United States of America, are forever connected.

HINT: 

I am a man

I was born in the Upper Franconia area of what is now Bavaria

I am dead

Too Difficult?  Maybe this will help:

You probably have a type of something I made in your house right now

I never married

First I lived in New York City, then Louisville Kentucky, and later I lived in San Francisco

I left Germany when I was 18 and became a US citizen in 1853

I was the first to mass produce what I am famous for.

Do you know who I am now? No?

The University of California, Berkeley has a Foundation in my name which began in 1897.

LAST HINT!!

What I produced, you put on your legs
