‘You need to study this’

Jackson, who lives in the St. Louis area, gives talks for schools, universities, law firms and other organizations about details of the case she has uncovered in more than 20 years of research.

She has received numerous awards for her work, including the Medal of Honor from the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution. It is the organization’s highest award.

Eventually, she compiled 15 large, three-ring binders of information about the history.
