James Caleb Jackson, born in Manlius, was a true Renaissance man.
He was an author and journalist, having run newspapers in Albany, Boston and Cazenovia.
He was a farmer, tilling the soil after the death of his father at the family farm in Manlius and at a farm in Mexico, Oswego County.
He was a physician, opening and running for years two water cures, one located in Skaneateles and one located high on a hill in Dansville, Livingston County.
He even is credited in some circles with inventing the first breakfast cereal, a concoction of hard and hardly edible bits of grain and graham called Granula.
