“Books are the carriers of civilization.
Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled,
thought and speculation at a standstill.
They are engines of change, windows on the world,
lighthouses erected in the sea of time.”
~Barbara W. Tuchman~

A good quote, well chosen to go with your light house.
***
Many indigenous North American people have an oral tradition, whereby their history and traditions are passed down the generations by word of mouth.
I has only been in recent times that these have been put down on paper, so that the rest of us can learn about them.
No one enjoys a good book more than me, but I thought you might find this interesting.
Very true! I love books!
