Jean Ternant's life (1751-1833) spanned a period of enormous change in European life. Born when men were still subject to judicial torture, he lived to see the dawn of the railroad age. His story of public service undertaken for private ends illustrates the value of education and social contacts and the importance of luck and circumstances.
