What is recorded here
Hugh Nelson is a birthplace in Larne, County Antrim, Ireland. Perhaps a boy born in 1830 ran barefoot across warm stones before joining Canadian politics. Maybe his mother sang while rain struck the roof, shaping the man who would leave home. Imagine the chamber where he first drew breath, still holding the heat of that ordinary Tuesday.
