LibriVox recording of Selected Uncle Abner Mysteries by Melville Davisson Post. Read in English by Winston Tharp Fourteen mysteries from the pages of the Saturday Evening Post, the Metropolitan, Red Book, and Pictorial Review magazines featuring Uncle Abner, who solves crimes in the pre-Civil War West Virginia hill country.
