2020.12.17 Lost Eureka’s First Story (so far)
On December 17th in 1888 Dr. Bailey attended to young Alfred Melvin down near Elk River. Read the Story in the Lost Eureka Book of Days here.
In this first story from the Lost Eureka Book of Days the magical mixes with the dangerous, setting the tone for this series of stories the Fabulists of Lost Eureka have found. As is often the case, the story contradicts the newspaper accounts while gaining some corroboration to the event.
As you enter Lost Eureka, you can ask yourself, “Am I ready to get lost?”
We need your help to continue our research and artwork. If you can, please buy something here and email the fox@losteureka.com if you have any enlightening information about the other stories from the December 1888 chapter of the Lost Eureka Book of Days (which we lovingly refer to as the Prologue), found here.
