Description
This talk uncovers an imperial “civilising experiment” in 1830 that brought teenager ‘Jemmy Button’ from his Patagonian homeland all the way to Walthamstow. Local research explores his time in the parish that led to a meeting with the King before an eventful return to his South American tribe.
