August 5-6, 2023: SiblingStudying: The Railton Boys

[On August2nd, this AmericanStudier’s amazing youngersister celebrates her birthday. So this week in her honor I’veAmericanStudied interesting American siblings, leading up to this link to atribute to my very favorite siblings!]

For Father’sDay this past June, I wrote my most personal SaturdayEvening Post column yet (and oneof the most personal things I’ve written anywhere), a tribute to my sons andwhat I’ve learned about both the past and the future from their amazingscholarly projects this past year. There’s no better way to conclude a serieson American siblings than by sharing that column and tribute with you, and Ihope you’ll be as inspired by my favorite pair of siblings as I am every singleday!

Annualbirthday posts start Monday,

Ben

PS. Whatdo you think? Sibling stories you’d highlight or siblings to whom you’d paytribute?
