On this episode of All Gas No Brakes, we end our 2-part journey exploring the origin story of living with physical disability. We touch on the lives of 3 individuals who made their mark on history while living a life with physical disability; Alfred the Great of Wessex, Petrus Gonsalvus and Wilhelm II. How did their lives shape history? How did their disability play a part in that endeavor? We conclude this episode with a brief look into the eugenics movement.
