Born in 1856 James Sligo Jameson - the heir to the well known Jameson Irish Whiskey - was no stranger to wealth.

From the studies of birds to beetles and even butterflies, his discoveries have stood the test of time. Being the first to discover The Black Pern - a type of honey buzzard, he embarked on many notable expeditions, fully engulfed in the journeys, he was never afraid to get into the culture and celebrated wherever he was, from food, to festivities he did it all. However, no matter the number of remarkable expeditions under his belt, only one would truly stand out, forever solidifying his name in horror instead of the Jameson bottle sitting on your shelf.
