Historical Highlights 103

I have just a few historical highlights to share this morning, touching on E.B White, Emily Dickinson, Jack Daniels, and more.

The farm that inspired Charlotte’s Web is for sale!

This Sunday performers stage an 11-hour reading of Paradise Lost.

Do you agree that Emily Dickinson was ahead of her time? (Bonus: here’s a post I wrote about one of her poems.)

The world’s oldest man died recently. (If you enjoyed this book, you’ll see why the article interested me!)

I was also fascinated by this article on the ways solar eclipses have fueled scientific discoveries over the past 2,000 years.

And check out these pictures of people viewing the solar eclipse of 1925.

This author went all in on her research!

Enjoy the weekend, everyone.
