Episode 168: The Traveling Stones

Episode 168: The Traveling Stones

By Nate DiMeo

The Memory Palace is a proud member of Radiotopia, a collective of independent podcasts from PRX.

A note on notes: We’d much rather you just went into each episode of The Memory Palace cold. And just let the story take you where it well. So, we don’t suggest looking into the show notes first.

Party’s End, from Bernard Herrmann’s score to The Egyptian

Notes

You should read Dan De Quille. He’s a good writer! I like his book on the Comstock Load, Big Bonanza.

Also check out The Tall Tales of Dan De Quille, by C. Grant Loomis from 1946.

I found this article about Twain’s time in Nevada particularly helpful.
