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

[On August 2nd, this AmericanStudier’s amazing younger sister celebrates her birthday. So this week in her honor I’ve AmericanStudied interesting American siblings, leading up to this link to a tribute to my very favorite siblings!]

For Father’s Day this past June, I wrote my most personal Saturday Evening Post column yet (and one of the most personal things I’ve written anywhere), a tribute to my sons and what I’ve learned about both the past and the future from their amazing scholarly projects this past year. There’s no better way to conclude a series on American siblings than by sharing that column and tribute with you, and I hope you’ll be as inspired by my favorite pair of siblings as I am every single day!

Annual birthday posts start Monday,

Ben

PS. What do you think? Sibling stories you’d highlight or siblings to whom you’d pay tribute?
