The term Wright comes from an old English word meaning worker of wood. Later it became any occupational worker, such as boatwright, wheelwright, housewright, or playwright. This site is about re-creating history, thus Time Wrights. It is dedicated to all those who wish to have a better understanding of our pioneering ancestors: the hardships, the physical connection to their work, and the joys and sorrows experienced in their lives. This site is also dedicated to our group of Living Historians, The 1st Alaska Living History Brigade who works hard at teaching our children not only in their classrooms but also creating environments as close to the originals as can be made today. We share a common experience called history. This site is an ongoing work in progress, so please be patient....Ric Wages
