Picture it... Boston, 1864. During the heart of the Civil War, North America's best 'fancy' skater boarded a ship and set sail for Europe, never to return again.
Jackson Haines performed in over a dozen countries, held court with royalty and drew audiences numbering in the thousands. They called him The Skating King. Today he is remembered as The Father of Figure Skating.
Chances are that you have read about Jackson Haines before... but do you know the real story? Through extensive research in historical archives, author Ryan Stevens separates fact from myth and brings to light the truth about the man who started it all.
