John Pemberton

John Stith Pemberton (July 8, 1831 – August 16, 1888) was an American pharmacist, and is best known for being the inventor of Coca-Cola.

Background

Pemberton was born July 8, 1831, in Knoxville, Crawford County, Georgia. His father was James Clifford Pemberton, brother of Confederate General John Clifford Pemberton. Pemberton was raised in Rome, Georgia. He entered the Reform Medical College of Georgia in Macon, and in 1850, at the age of nineteen, he was licensed to practice pharmacy. Shortly thereafter, he met Ann Eliza Clifford Lewis of Columbus, Georgia, known to her friends as "Cliff", who had been a student at the Wesleyan College in Macon. In 1853, he married Miss Lewis in Columbus. Their only child, Charles Ney Pemberton, was born in 1854. They lived in the Pemberton House in Columbus.

Invention of Coca-Cola

In April 1865, while serving as a lieutenant colonel of the Confederate Army's Third Georgia Cavalry Battalion, Georgia State Guard, Pemberton was wounded in the Battle of Columbus, Georgia. He sustained his injury from a saber with which he was slashed across his chest, and like many wounded veterans of many wars, he became addicted to the morphine used to ease the pain. As the pharmacist that he was in civilian life, Pemberton sought a cure for his addiction. In 1866, in Columbus, Georgia, he started working on painkillers that would serve as opium-free alternatives to morphine. His first was "Dr. Tuggle's Compound Syrup of Globe Flower (Cephalanthus occidentalis)". He next began experimenting with coca and coca wines, eventually creating his own version of Vin Mariani, containing kola nut and damiana, which he called Pemberton's French Wine Coca. According to Coca-Cola historian, Phil Mooney, Pemberton's world-famous soda was "created in Columbus, Georgia and carried to Atlanta".

John Pemberton (anthropologist)

John Pemberton is an associate professor of anthropology at Columbia University. He received a Ph.D. from Cornell University. Prior to joining the faculty at Columbia, Pemberton taught at the University of Washington.

Java

His research interest has primarily been focused on Indonesia and the intersections between history and anthropology. His fieldwork base was in Surakarta in Central Java in the early 1990s at a time when fieldwork was particularly difficult for foreign researchers. In the 1980s and 1990s foreign researchers had been accessing Java more regularly than in previous decades - with Pemberton and fellow Cornell associates tending to focus upon Solo (Surakarta) and its surrounding localities.

His 1994 On the Subject of "Java" was published by Cornell University Press and explores the relationship between culture and politics in Java. and was unique in its appraisal of the history of Surakarta, and Java utilising commentary regarding historical and anthropological issues that were being encountered during the era of New Order Indonesia.

Jack Pemberton

John "Jack" Pemberton (11 January 1883 – 29 May 1968) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Richmond in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Pemberton made three senior appearances for Richmond in their inaugural VFL season, all of which they lost. He returned to the scene in 1931 as coach of North Melbourne and was in charge for eight games. North Melbourne lost each of them as well, meaning that Pemberton failed to experience a win either as a player or coach in the VFL.
