Mister Ron's Basement #1402

This is the 1400th Episode of Mister Ron's Basement! This has been an amazing journey of exploration of the world of (mostly) forgotten American humor from long ago! Above all, the letters of encouragement I have received from listeners have made this labor of love (there sure isn't any money in it) worthwhile! After this week, the Basement goes on hiatus while we prepare for the monster move to a new server host. Details are forthcoming! Thanks! Here today, then, is the second part of...

Mister Ron's Basement #1392
When Mark Twain was accused of plagiarizing Max Adeler's 'The Fortunate Island' for his novel 'A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court' he responded by saying that he read Adeler's story, liked it, and thought there was no resemblance. However, the Adeler story he compared to his own that appeared in the 1882 "Fortunate Island' book was a different one -- 'An Old Fogy' -- one of the first Time Travel stories ever written. For tonight's Saturday Night Special story we present 'An Old Fogy,...

Our Saturday Night Special story was originally presented in Basement Episode #933 a couple of years ago (you can find it here). In it Mortimer Thomson made fun of Reverend Henry Ward Beecher, one of the most influential men in America in the years leading up to the Civil War. Apparently, the version we presented then was heavily edited by the Utah newspaper we originally found it in. Today we are re-reading the story in its complete form, as was printed in a Georgia Newspaper in 1856. It is ...
