Day Fifty-One: "Election Night-1885" by Elizabeth Williams Cosgrove

Recollection.

In honor of President's Day I decided to read this short story that was first published in Prairie Schooner in 1931. The narrator recollects the night when Grover Cleveland was elected President because it's the first time she/he ever saw a man die in a saloon. Mostly though this was a fun read, a short read, and it gave me a look back which, on this day, is something I'm happy to do.
