A little bit Forrest Gump, a little bit Indiana Jones, 100% real. Discover the most extraordinary Baltimorean you�ve never heard of! The Jewish Museum of Maryland and The Maryland Historical Society invite you on a journey to put together the puzzle of one man�s life. It�s a journey full of twists, turns, and missing clues. Throughout history, Mendes Cohen was there. At Ft. McHenry when the bombs were bursting in air; at the Supreme Court when states� rights were at stake; in Paris when the people prepared the barricades; at the Vatican for the installation of a new pope; down the Nile to collect artifacts; in Jerusalem as the first American tourist; in Annapolis when arguments raged over fugitive slaves; on the board of the nation�s first railroad.
