The Blowin Well Told by Old Timers in Albany
In Albany Telegram style, townspeople gather at a drug store where a professor and an old man recount a legendary blowing gas well across the river. The tale spans years before the war, the barnstorming preacher, and a fire-rimmed revival, ending with the farmer denying any blowing well on his land and a stoic bill Bodine who never learned of the gas well’s existence.
