The Wright Brothers
Wilbur and Orville Wright were born to Bishop Milton Wright and his wife Susan. Wilbur, their third son, was born on a small farm near Millville, Indiana on April 16, 1867. Orville was born at 7 Hawthorn Street in Dayton, Ohio. The five Wright children grew up in a happy environment where they were always encouraged to pursue intellectual interests. The family was a very close one, even though Bishop Wright was a firm disciplinarian. In June of 1884, the family decided to move from Richmond, Indiana back to Dayton, the same month Wilbur was to have graduated from high school. Wilbur had to leave without a diploma, but he came back the next year to study further in Greek and trigonometry.By carefully studying the works of those before them, The Wright Brothers began their efforts to build the first airplane. The Wright Brothers were very good at judging weather the many ideas they read were good or worthless. They slowly began putting together the bits and pieces of information that were scattered throughout the books they read.
