December 17 is
Wright Brothers Day. It commemorates the first flight made in a mechanically propelled craft, which was made by Orville and Wilbur Wright on 17 December 1903. There is an annual
presidential proclamation.
Some of my ancestors may have read this account of the Wright brothers' flight, which was published in the
Nashville American.
