This:
http://www.softpanorama.org/People/Shell_giants/introduction.shtml
has the timeline mostly correct; but the author is so far off on the
relative merits of the Bourne and C shell scripting languages, for
example, as to make most of his editorializing ignorable. He seems
to have some kind of axe to grind with Steve Bourne and wastes a lot
of words bashing him (no pun intended), but there is a lot of useful
source material quoted or linked.
