Welcome to the associate figures part of our site. Both Emily Chesley and Michael Flannigan met many important historical figures in the fields of politics, literature, art, science . . . most fields of human endeavor. Some were major influences in their time, and some are of little historical note, but they all were influenced -- and had an impact -- on Chesley and Flannigan.
