Description
A cropped picture of Grant Jackson from the Hart/Jackson Family Collection. His ancestors spent their early years living among Native Americans, which shielded them from slave owners. After, Jackson acquired and farmed his own land in Miccosukee, and became known as a "medicine man" for his cures using herbs and roots. The photograph also shows him wearing copper around his neck, often worn to relieve arthritis.
