Last year I was fortunate enough to have been able to share Joseph Hobson Jagger’s story at three major literary and history Festivals; Warwick Words, Ryedale Book Festival and the Gloucester History Festival. It was an enormous privilege to be invited to talk and to have the opportunity to share with the audience my research, the process of uncovering the truth behind a myth and of course Joseph’s extraordinary bank-breaking achievement.
