Re: "Jackson is the americanized name given to him at Castle Garden when he immigrated from Poland/Austria/Hungary"

Sorry, no one at Castle Garden gave him this name. He may have changed it shortly after immigrating, but names were not changed by immigration officials. It is a myth that is taking a long time to die.
