Link to the Show / Show NotesThis 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 four from Max Adeler's satirical masterpiece of 1882. It features quirky mechanical limbs, political corruption, horrendous artwork, byzantine bureaucracy, complicated romance, scalping, thievery, and more twists and turns than a pretzel! Here then is 'Major Dunwoody's Leg' (Part Two of Four).
Time: approx twenty and a half minutes
