Episode 394 - Silver Blaze: An Identification

“concealed it at Mapleton” [SILV]

This month's Mr. Sherlock Holmes the Theorist episode goes back to 1949 to Volume 4, Number 1 of The Baker Street Journal and Jay Finley Christ's article "Silver Blaze: An Identification (as of 1893 A.D.).

Here Christ looks at what contemporary readers of the Strand would have thought of Watson's tale, specifically identifying which horse Silver Blaze was supposed to be.

Oh, and for our paid Substack supporters, we have a video version of this episode. It's just a Trifle.
