Reading Fact
The titular raven in Edgar Allan Poe’s Gothic classic was initially supposed to be… a parrot.
Poe wondered how he could have his one-word refrain, “nevermore”, continuously repeated throughout the poem – and the first thing that came to his mind was a parrot.
The bird’s flamboyance, however, did not fit well with the grim nature of the work, and in the end, Poe decided to replace it with a raven.
History Fact
In 1710, Native American leaders travelled to Britain to visit the Queen.
Almost 100 years before the (in)famous Lewis and Clark Expedition, the four Mohawk Kings from one the Iroquois Confederacy’s Five Nations and the Algonquian peoples were treated with high honor as diplomats.
Transported through the streets of London in Royal Carriages, they were personally met by Queen Anne at the Court of St. James Palace.
They also visited the Tower of London and St. Paul’s Cathedral.
