Author talk:Arthur Conan Doyle/Sherlock Holmes

From the Australian Gutenberg site This is an attempt at establishing the internal chronology of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories. That is to say, the order that Sherlock Holmes would've experienced them in, rather than the order that they were published in. It's impossible to arrive at a conclusive order for the stories on the grounds that Doyle didn't seem to have one in mind himself. This chronology is the work of William S. Baring-Gould. My sources were http://www.calibercomics.com/SHERLOCK/sherlock_holmes_Chronology.htm and http://www.waxwing.westhost.com/thedoge/afhfaq3.html. Basically, I'm including this for people who want to read the stories in internal order rather than in order of publication (me, for instance). '74 Fall "The 'Gloria Scott' " '79 Oct "The Musgrave Ritual" '81 Mar A Study in Scarlet '83 Apr "The Speckled Band" '86 Oct "The Resident Patient" '86 Oct "The Noble Bachelor" '86 Oct "The Second Stain" '87 Apr "The Reigate Puzzle" '87 May "A Scandal in Bohemia" '87 Jun "The Man with the Twisted Lip" '87 Sep "The Five Orange Pips" '87 Oct "A Case of Identity" '87 Oct "The Red-headed League" '87 Nov "The Dying Detective" '87 Dec "The Blue Carbuncle" '88 Jan The Valley of Fear '88 Apr "The Yellow Face" '88 Sep "The Greek Interpreter" '88 Sep The Sign of the Four '88 Sep The Hound of the Baskervilles '89 Apr "The Copper Beeches" '89 Jun "The Boscombe Valley Mystery" '89 Jun "The Stock-Broker's Clerk" '89 July "The Naval Treaty" '89 Aug "The Cardboard Box" '89 Sep "The Engineer's Thumb" '89 Sep "The Crooked Man" '90 Mar "The Adventure of Wisteria Lodge" '90 Sep "Silver Blaze" '90 Dec "The Beryl Coronet" '91 Apr "The Final Problem" '94 Apr "The Empty House" '94 Nov "The Golden Pince-Nez" '95 Apr "The Three Students" '95 Apr "The Solitary Cyclist" '95 July "The Adventure of Black Peter" '95 Aug "The Norwood Builder" '95 Nov "The Bruce-Partington Plans" '96 Oct "The Veiled Lodger" '96 Nov "The Sussex Vampire" '96 Dec "The Missing Three-Quarter" '97 Jan "The Abbey Grange" '97 Mar "The Devil's Foot" '98 July "The Dancing Men" '98 July "The Retired Colourman" '99 Jan "Charles Augustus Milverton" '00 Jun "The Six Napoleons" '00 Oct "The Problem of Thor Bridge" '01 May "The Priory School" '02 May "Shoscombe Old Place" '02 Jun "The Three Garridebs" '02 July "Lady Frances Carfax" '02 Sep "The Illustrious Client" '02 Sep "The Red Circle" '03 Jan "The Blanched Soldier" '03 May "The Three Gables" '03 Sum "The Mazarin Stone" '03 Sep "The Creeping Man" '09 July "The Lion's Mane" '14 Aug "His Last Bow"

I believe that some of the Stories do not indicate when they took place(or am I mistaken?), how did you manage to come up with those dates?4.14.130.124
