Sobre este item
Washington, DC: U. S. Government Printing Office, 1961. Reprint. 1985 printing. Wraps. Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling.. 64 p. illus. 23 cm. National Park Service historical handbook series no. 34. Illustrations. Glossary. Further Reading The assistance of Dr. Marvin W. McFarland was acknowledged. Wright Brothers National Memorial, located in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina, commemorates the first successful, sustained, powered flights in a heavier-than-air machine. From 1900 to 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright came here from Dayton, Ohio, based on information from the U.S. Weather Bureau about the area's steady winds. They also valued the privacy provided by this location, which in the early twentieth century was remote from major population centers. Authorized as Kill Devil Hill Monument on March 2, 1927, it was transferred from the War Department to the National Park Service on August 10, 1933. Congress renamed it and designated it a national memorial on December 4, 1953. As with all historic areas administered by the National Park Service, the national memorial was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 15, 1966.
