It always surprises me when I read about someone in the 19th century who traveled, moved and changed jobs constantly. Somehow, I think of that as a modern scenario, enabled by rapid transportation and communication. N.N. Osburn proved me wrong. He had the gumption and energy that would make him wealthy.
Nial Nye Osburn was born in Athens, OH, Nov. 19, 1819. When he was 22, he made his way to the middle west, stopping first in Iowa.
