Your opportunity to become a member of a fake society!
A little WV history, travel and fishing with the world's worst angler
The regular session of the West Virginia Legislature came to an end more than a month ago and while Dave and I consider what to do next with this newsletter, the time seems right to bring back The Porte Crayon Applejack Society.
The PCAS represents my initial foray into the newslettering business. I put it aside in favor of getting 60 Days off the ground.
The PCAS is a fake society inspired by the life of David Hunter Strother, whose pen name was — PORTE CRAYON. I cooked it up more than a year ago as my pandemic project.
Porte was a native of Martinsburg who was an incredibly popular 19th century writer and artist who brought the high mountains of what is now eastern West Virginia to the national stage. He first found fame writing about Canaan Valley. And he liked to fish. If he were working today, I’m pretty sure he’d rival none other than Bill Bryson and Tony Horwitz.
I know some 60 Days readers are also PCAS members. But if you don’t already subscribe to both, I wanted to give you this chance to sign up.
Click the link. It will take to the post I sent on Friday.
Poke around.
And if the PCAS looks like something you’d be interested in, please subscribe.
