October 2, 1874: An Afflicted Letter, Book Recomendations, and the Ledgend of the Lake


Listen Later

I’m Spencer Barton, and these are your headlines for: September 11th , 1874


We have received a letter from the stricken Col. Gruesel one week after his altercation with Charley Eshelman. Hear how the sir recounts his perception of the bloody and violent events from last week.


I give you a couple of new book recommendations to consider ahead of the winter’s snow.


And later, I recount the trip I took this week up to Spirit Lake and the altogether curious sequence of events.
