There are actually quite a few resources available, but you'll probably
have to google some to find them.

The beowulf site has a short history:

   http://www.beowulf.org/overview/history.html

I've archived the following from a mirror/snapshot of the much earlier
beowulf site:

  http://www.phy.duke.edu/resources/computing/brahma/Resources/beowulf/intro.html

Then there are various articles published in online interviews and
articles, e.g. --

  http://www.hq.nasa.gov/hpcc/insights/vol7/beowulf.htm

(and others google turns up with e.g. "don becker beowulf history" or
other nifty strings).

There's probably a similar but less authoritative blurb on this in my
online book, too.
