Chapter 3 is now with the moderators and should post soon.
I received many emails over the last week pointing out that there seemed to be a technology glitch in Chapter 2. The glitch? Baby bottles weren't invented until sometime in the 1860s. That's true ... kinda.
Vessels for nursing babies have been around since roughly 9000 BC (yeah, I'm an old fart, none of this Before Common Era politically correct stuff for me). In America, the first glass baby, or nursing, bottle was patented in 1841 (Patent #1985A) by Charles Winship. It used a sponge or cloth wick as a nipple. The rubber nipple was added in the 1860s. A great article on the history of baby bottles is at https://relicrecord.com/blog/baby-bottles-milky-history/
As always, special thanks to CoullPert for continuing to teach me proper word usage and ferreting out all those damn possessive apostrophes!
Until next week, happy reading.
