Carson was born in Springdale, Pennsylvania on May 27, 1907. She started writing papers at eight, and had her first story published at age eleven. Reading through everything Rachel Carson did in her lifetime is phenomenal. One thing many people know Carson for is the book Silent Spring she wrote about all the terrible things DDT sprayed by humans to kill bugs caused birds to lay softer shelled eggs causing a generations of failed fertilized eggs.
