September in history - Sample: September 6, 1860- Birthday - Pioneering American social worker Jane Addams (1860-1935) was born in Cedarville, Illinois. In 1883, she toured the great European cities to study famous historic sites but was deeply moved by the hunger and misery she found among the common people. She then founded Hull House in Chicago to serve the sick and poor and managed the settlement for the next 46 years.

Recommend: Gary Nabhan's latest, Substack offering, Cottonwoods: Sacred and Sensible An excerpt: "Nearly two decades went by before I learned from Hopi friends of the reverence they held for cottonwoods. For the Hopi and many other Indigenous communities in the desert Southwest, the word used as an identification marker for cottonwood also means the essence or spiritual manifestation of tree-ness, growth, and stature. Linguists explained to me that words such as sohovi in Hopi are polysemous; that is, they have layered meanings and multiple dimensions."
