Jack Daniel founded the famous whiskey distillery somewhere around 1875 in the southern Tennessee town of Lynchburg. He was supposedly born around 1850 somewhere around Lynchburg. He died from blood poisoning on October 10, 1911. The old tale is that he kicked a safe he couldn't open and infection set in. Who knows if that is really true or not! But the distillery is world famous, the little town is still little, and people leave all manner of offerings at Jack's grave.
