In the Matter of Incubus & Co

1/9/2022

 
September's Story Calendar is a short story first published in the magazine Vox Clamantium in 1894 and is drawn from the real life events of The Mauricewood Pit Disaster of September 5th 1889. Crockett was minister of Penicuik at the time of this disaster, and set up a relief fund (notably asking famous writers such as R.L.Stevenson for contributions) because the company only paid out to the legal wives of the deceased not to the common law partners and children.  The story stuck with him throughout his life and was integrated into a later novel with equally political themes Vida, The Iron Laird of Kirktown (1907).  
The story (36 minutes) is read by Cally Phillips.
