Science Fiction is speculative literature that generally explores the consequences of ideas which are roughly consistent with nature and scientific method, but are not facts of the author?s contemporary world. The stories often represent philosophical thought experiments presented in entertaining ways. Protagonists typically ?think? rather than ?shoot? their way out of problems, but the definition is flexible because there are no limits on an author?s imagination. The reader-selected stories presented here were written prior to 1962 and became US public domain texts when their copyrights expired. (Summary by Gregg Margarite)

Short Stories Of William Henry Harrison Murray

, ,

Murray (1840-1904) was a sometime clergyman, journalist, and purveyor of the outdoor life. His books did much to popularize the virtues of outdoor experience, especially in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. Here are stories, some humorous some serious, of the out-of-doors, of love between man and woman, man and horse, man and dog, teacher and acolyte, of wisdom and foolishness. This recording is a selection of his short stories from “The Busted Ex-Texan And Other Stories” (1889), “How Deacon Tubman And Parson Whitney Kept New Years And Other Stories” (1888) and “A Ride With A Mad Horse In A Freight-Car” (1898). – Summary by david wales
