Robin McKee of Historical Perspectives and Laura Markey, President of Bay Gardens Funeral Home & Bayview Cemetery, Crematory & Mausoleum discuss Nelson Stevens.
Nelson Stevens was an African-American Civil War Veteran who crossed into Canada through the Underground Railway. He then crossed back over the border to enlist in fighting for the Civil War. He returned to Canada where he lived in historical obscurity until McKee found his unmarked grave.
Robin McKee went to Washington to apply for a headstone marker for the gravesite. A fascinating story.
