The narrative traces graph theory's development, highlighting both well-known and lesser-known figures. While many mathematicians dedicated their careers to graph theory, some, like Hassler Whitney, transitioned to other areas, and others, including C. S. Peirce and George Birkhoff, made contributions while focusing on different fields.
