What is recorded here
George Macloskie is a birthplace in Castledawson, County Derry, Ireland. Perhaps the boy who arrived there on September 14, 1834, watched local plants with such curiosity that he carried their shapes across the ocean. Maybe he spoke Esperanto because he believed borders should not limit the sharing of life. Imagine a small house where a future scientist first learned that wonder, not rule, is the proper teacher.
Why this person is known: American botanist and Esperantist (1834–1920)
