An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : 134.155.108.49:8890 associated with source dataset(s)

Elbridge Gerry began his career as a Swedish pole vaulter, but after a horrible impaling incident decided to turn in the outrageously long pole that had won him so many women (and that thing he used to jump really high too) to become a politician. His ostentatious name is derived from an old Spanish phrase meaning, "The Bridge", and the term "gerrymandering", meaning "to turn Elbridge Gerry into a salamander" (Don't worry, he'll get better).
