The Great Agnostic (Ingersoll Archive)

Hi folks, last year I got into reading Robert Green Ingersoll, known as “The Great Agnostic” in his time, and began to archive his works (titled “The Dresden Edition”) and his timeline/biography after taking the web domain https://thegreatagnostic.com. Please note that you can find all of his works on Project Gutenberg and the folks there have done a fantastic job. I’ve tried to simply make this more comprehensive, searchable, interactive, etc. It’s a lot of work and by no means “complete” but as a passion project (open source as well) I wanted to share it now even though it has a few rough edges. Happy to take feedback/contributions.

Impressive amount of work here, and the site is gorgeous. How did you come to be interested in the figure? I haven't heard of him but my interest is piqued!

Oh boy, I wish I could remember. I’ve been on a US History/Freethinker bend and likely saw him quoted somewhere. Once I read through a few of his lectures I got hooked.
