Mister Ron's Basement II

Fri Aug 26, 2011 Mister Ron's Basement No. 1986 Sometimes we discover great, almost totally forgotten humorists here in The Basement. We have found some of the funny stories of Prentice Mulford. Mulford is much more well known today as the founder of the New Thought Movement, but from the 1860s until 1891, he made his living writing wildly popular humorous stories. From 1877, we present one of Mulford’s wildest stories - - 'Deadwood Justice - or, Gunpowder McClusky.’ Deadwood Road, 1888 Time: approx eight and a half minutes The Mister Ron's Basement Catalog can be found at: http://ronevry.com/Mister_Rons_Full_Catalog.html The Index of Prentice Mulford stories is located at: http://ronevry.com/prenticemulford.html *There is a nifty interview with Mister Ron in issue #59 iProng Magazine (now known as Beatweek Magazine) which can be downloaded at a new URL as a free pdf file here. *John Kelly of The Washington Post has written a lively piece about the Basement.
