“Ray Bradbury’s ‘The Kilimanjaro Device’: The Need to Correct the Errors of Time.”
I am desperately trying to find an article in a 1980 edition of Midwestern Miscellany by Loren Logsdon with the above title. It sounds as though it would be perfect for the research paper I am currently writing on three of Bradbury's stories, but for all I try I cannot find it anywhere online. Could someone please help me?

It also appears to have been in an issue of "Eureka Studies In Teaching Short Fiction", v3 n1 p83-94 Fall 2002.
Please help? DX

That took quite some work to find, but I got it for ya! I hope this is what you wanted anyways.
So, while on that page, I clicked on the book (on the left) to search inside. And I read the table of contents, it was the first story in there. Good luck with your research paper!

SteveoDood, I believe Lauren is looking for a particular article about 'The Kilimanjaro Device', not the short story itself.
Lauren, I have looked through my collection of scholarly articles, culled from print and electornic sources, and find that the Logsdon piece is also on my wishlist; I haven't been able to locate a copy anywhere. All I can suggest is that you get an academic librarian to hunt it out for you. If your college library doesn't have it, they should be able to ship a copy in from elsewhere. Or, you could contact the publishers of Midwestern Miscellany, who are: Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature. Contact details are here: http://www.ssml.org/contact/

Thank you very much for the help. I went to my library yesterday, actually, and spoke with the librarian there. They didn't have a copy on hand, and while they put in a request to the librarian at Eureka College (Where the author of the article currently works), nothing has come back yet.
I'll try contacting those people myself and see if I can get anything. Thanks again!

Maybe what the Mountain needs is a "SnowMaking Device!'
