uestions on Ellery Queen

1) Ellery Queen Tv series The Adventure of The Disappearing Dagger

In this episode a lenghty shot is made of a plaque which reads:

Connecticut State Historical
Society Marker N°609
ELMSFORD, CONNECTICUT
Village Green

On this site May 12. 1778, a gallant
band of colonial militia, led by
Col.Nathan 'Old Ironbeak' Shay,
were massacred by a platoon of
British regulars and sixty three
Pottawomotock Indians.

It doesn't connect to the plot and Google did not find any of these 'facts' or 'names'... An inside joke then?
Any advice or comment is welcome!

2) Pamphlet 'How to Read the Queen Stories'

There is a footnote on page 326 of the original printing (it's in the final chapter) of The Egyptian Cross Mystery. This footnote indicates that the first printing of The Greek Coffin Mystery contained a pamphlet entitled "How to Read the Queen Stories". The copies of The Greek Coffin Mystery which I have seen have not contained this pamphlet, and I have not found it elsewhere.
Have you got this pamflet and could you provide us with a clean scan? Click the e-mail link above...

3) Pastiches
I've only just looked into the pastiches, parodies made.
Several authors tried their hands on a Queen story with enjoyable results... perhaps you have such a story lying about...
tell us about it...
