Mormons in Colorado Kid

[AlexS]

Hi guys!

Just one small question. Could you please clarify this passage from Colorado Kid:

I’m sure it was the Portland SundayTelegram that did the piece
on the Mormons that showed up over in Freeport and tried to sink a mine in the Desert of Maine…

I'm not a native english reader, but I read the book on the original language. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the site, Alex--I don't have an answer for this, sorry. But somebody else is bound to know something.

Well, I just want to understand if the author meant a real mormons story (mistery) or it's like a joke. But I cannot understand the humor of the situation...

Could you please move my topic to the The Colorado Kid | The StephenKing.com Message Board branch? Thanks in advance!

It first helps to know what the Desert of Maine is:

Hi there, your initial post needs to be in this area sorry. But you can begin another thread in the Colorado Kid area if you like and I will move the other posts over.

Thanks Bev Vincent, I have already read the article, it is really interesting information. The main point is I cannot understand the reason to sink a mine in the Desert of Maine.

Thanks, I just will start another thread, and think this is not necessary to move other posts to the newly created topic.

...that IS the point...there was no reason, it was another piece in the pie of weird local news...and a bit of fun at the "expense" of the Mormons...
