"Ahdoolo" - The Story of Matthew Henson


< Click on each picture to see the larger one – click again to return >

Bryan Jackson meets a man named Jim 
Henson and gives him money from the students. 
Henson was his mother's name. She 
did not marry so Jim has a Henson name as
she did. His mother was related to a son 
of Lemuel Henson named Bailey. 
Matthew had a different mother, so Bailey was
a half-brother and Jim never met or knew Matthew.

Dr. Allen Counter discovered Jim's link to 
this half brother Bailey on his mother's side
and informed him around 1988 during the time he 
was creating the reinterrment of Matthew 
at Arlington Cemetery. 

Dr. Counter found Matthew's Greenland
Eskimo relatives, too. More about Dr. Counter...
