rWotD Episode 3116: The Lake Gun
Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.
The random article for Friday, 14 November 2025, is The Lake Gun.
"The Lake Gun" is a satirical short story by James Fenimore Cooper first published in 1850. The short story was commissioned by George E. Wood for $100, and published in a miscellany titled The Parthenon. It was reprinted in Specimens of American Literature in New York in 1866. The short story satirizes political demagoguery, focused on William Henry Seward.
The story was reprinted in 1932 by publisher William Farquhar Payson in a limited edition with illustrations.
The title of the story comes from a mysterious loud exploding sound coming from Seneca Lake, called "The Lake Gun" by European American settlers to the area, and known today as the Seneca Guns. These sounds remain unexplained to this day, with no clear or agreed-upon cause.
This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:50 UTC on Friday, 14 November 2025.
For the full current version of the article, see The Lake Gun on Wikipedia.
