Episode 340: The Six Napoleons of Baltimore

Greg Ruby and Mike McSwiggin join us to talk about the group’s origins and its upcoming 80th anniversary. </div><div><br /></div><div>We hear about their first encounters with Sherlock Holmes and then travel back to 1946, when six Baltimore Sherlockians gathered for dinner and founded what would become the Six Napoleons. We also discuss the wonderfully complicated story behind its name, which connects a local Baltimore woman to Napoleon’s family and, of course, to a famous Holmes adventure.</div><div><br /></div><div>Today, the group continues its traditions of scholarship, trivia, and, above all, fun. We talk about their memorable “inquisition” used to induct new members, its twice-yearly meetings, and its 80th anniversary celebration this September, which features our own Scott Monty as guest speaker. </div><div><br /></div><div>We also discuss Greg Ruby’s Sherlockians of Baltimore (SOBs), a newer organization that meets quarterly, on Saturdays. It’s a conversation about 80 years of Sherlockian friendship—and a reminder that the game is still very much afoot in Baltimore.</div></div><div><br /></div><div>Our “<b>Learned Societies</b>” segment kicks off with Sherlockian society activities coming up in the first half of October. Then, it’s a new edition of “<b>Examining the Pictures</b>,” with the film critic, journalist, and author Christian Monggaard, BSI, as he begins a review of the BBC's <i>Sherlock</i> series. Finally, the <b>Canonical Couplet</b> quiz will test your Sherlock Holmes knowledge, with a copy of something from the IHOSE vaults for the winner.

Bob named the group after the subhead of "His Last Bow," observing that an epilogue, after all, is something that follows — and for thirty years, the group followed the Great Detective through meetings dedicated to friendship and story discussions. </p><p>All of their meetings were held in the resonant walls of a Quaker meeting house, with the group soon adopting a two-story format, where discussions of two of Watson’s cases were followed by unearthing the hidden links and echoes between them.</p><p>Beyond the scholarly deep dives, the Epilogues were legendary for their informal, affordable atmosphere, fueled, in large part, by Peter McIntyre’s celebrated homemade ice cream. Having now concluded their own Great Hiatus, the Epilogues will officially kick off a new chapter with their first online meeting later this year. </p><p>Join us as we discuss the group's history, the art of finding connections between stories, and their relaunch this coming May, when they invite a new generation of Sherlockians to join the conversation. And <a href="https://forms.gle/HuuF4dYfpb2rT2G18" target="_blank">sign up to be notified</a>.</p><p>We kick off our “<b>Learned Societies</b>” segment with Sherlockian society activities in the first half of May.
