Thoroughly enjoyed this and all memory palace webcasts thus far. I am currently reading “the devil in the white city,”–a decision inspired by this–and agree with you that is is great.

Thanks.

Glad you liked it. So, basically you have this giant, Eiffel Tower-like tower built entirely out of logs (so it itself is log-cabinny) and at the top of that tower, there’s a log cabin. I can’t remember where I first heard about that particular detail, but I confirmed it (though it was slightly different from the way I’d heard it years ago) in “the devil in the white city.” Which is great.

Also, the answers to many “where did you pull this…” questions will be found in the “music, footnotes, ephemera” page on the site.

thanks for listening.

Thanks for the great episode! But can you settle an argument for me? Is the ridiculous idea of the 2,000+ foot log structure built “on top” of a replica of Abe’s boyhood home or “topped” with a replica of our mythic president’s boyhood home? And from where did you pull this great bit of historical trivia?
