Thank you so much for your comment. I will check on your book. It sounds interesting. You have correctly noted that I have picked a different starting point for my information. For the most part, I don’t write much about events before the Civil War. We all have to pick our fields of expertise and I’m glad to know your field of research. That can’t have been easy!

Not enough writers do. These are very interesting facts but there were many firsts attained before the 1839 date with which you start your list. Since my book, “Female Adventurers: the women who helped colonize Massachusetts and Connecticut,” profiles women from the 17th century, I’ve researched a lot of earlier first.
