Thanks for adding your insight to the story!

One historic inconsistency, though, regards the Cobweb Palace. All the sources I've read state Abe Warner opened his saloon in 1856, yet this story is set in 1854. Stoddard must have mixed his later memories of the City with his boyhood outing. Great story and great podcasts. One historic inconsistency, though, regards the Cobweb Palace.
