Today’s video, https://youtu.be/7DbtNCw1Av0, is about Dr. H. Nelson Jackson, star of Ken Burns’ documentary, Horatio’s Drive, & filmed in front of his home in Burlington, VT! Dr. Jackson lived at 158 South Willard Street after he married Bertha Wells, daughter of US Civil War General William Wells, Medal of Honor recipient.
What was the good doctor’s claim to fame??? He is credited with being the first man to drive across the US in an automobile in 1903!
