The Balloon-Hoax Article From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The printed story ends here, but the human story ….. Well, Steel workers went to work Monday morning knowing their work would someday rule the skies like a bird. Children went to school knowing one day they would fly in the skies like a bird. Mothers cleaned their houses and fed their children and some mothers did the same for other families knowing one day these children would be the pilots of the airs that would save humanity. Every single man, woman and child in the city of New York that year knew their life had purpose and meaning,

This news article is not true, but is the expansion of a truth unfolding at the time. Some call it fake, others call it a joke. I call it a masterpiece that framed the future. It is believed to have been written by Edgar Allen Poe. Whoever wrote it wrote a majestic masterpiece of motivation that brought us to the skies we share today. So the next time you sit in an airplane, watch one pass overhead, or even think about that far away vacation you so desperately need, remember these realities we live today once replaced sugar plums and fairies in a child's dream and fueled a man's world. 

It is said you can find a full size readable copy of the actual article at the American Antiquarian Society as well.

Side note, I am not southern and had no idea I sound southern.
