On October 24, 1902, Wright Brothers wrap up a series of successful glide trials on the beaches of North Carolina. In the years leading up to their success in flight, the Wright’s family was notably well-read. Their library was known to include classical works in the humanities, including the works of Plutarch.
David McCullough’s book, “The Wright Brothers,” goes into much description on the contents of the Wright family library. Besides Plutarch, the family also read books by Dickens, Washington Irving, Hawthorne, and Mark Twain. They also had Darwin’s ‘On the Origin of Species,’ encyclopedias, volumes on natural history and American history. McCullough describes the family as one that read all the time.

Hello there! This article couldn’t be written any better!
Reading through this post reminds me of my previous roommate!
He constantly kept preaching about this. I will forward this post to him.
Pretty sure he will have a good read. Many thanks for sharing!
Hey there would you mind sharing which blog platform
you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time
selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different
then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to
ask! I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today, yet
I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me.
In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as
you did, the internet will be much more useful than ever before.
Thank you! Librarian’s Almanac keeps it straightforward with a WordPress backend and a theme called Atlantic. I’ve worked with various backends for apps before and it seems to just comes down to what 1)you feel comfortable with, 2)software that has regular updates, and 3)plays well with your hosting service of choice. I don’t think there is a wrong answer in the end so long as you can take care of those aspects. Good luck!
