Throughout this whole article all I could think of is how was Erle Stanley Gardner writing in a magazine that ran from 1882 to 1891. when he was born in 1889. He was a very advanced toddler I suppose.
- notdonspaulding 11y agoIt's poorly-worded in the article, but it does mention that ESG only wrote his column for a subset (~10 years) of that time. But maybe you saw that and were just making a joke? In which case, I'll just <whoosh> myself.
- mesozoic 11y agoNo I was and still am confused about it actually.
- kbenson 11y ago> Argosy began in 1882 ... and ceased publication ninety-six years later ... but for ten years in between it was the home of a true-crime column by Erle Stanley Gardner. > To help investigate his cases, Gardner assembled a committee of crime experts, including a private detective, a handwriting analyst, a former prison warden, and a homicide specialist with degrees in both medicine and law. They examined dozens of cases between September of 1948 and October of 1958 So, the magazine was active from 1892 to ~1986. At some point, which appears to be between 1948 and 1958, Erle Stanley Gardner headed the feature in question.
