The Bourbon Pneumatic Society was a secret writing club and activist group formed in the early 1900's by little known author, magician, and train enthusiast Thomas Wenton. The club consisted of several famous writers, such as Claire Delhoun and Marcus Winston. Great Gatsby author F. Scott Fitzgerald was also rumored to be an active member. The club became notorious in its then controversial support of the Great Imbibing Machinists Fiasco in Danton, Ohio.

History
The club was founded in early 1902 by Thomas Wenton. Wenton, a dime novel author, part-time illusionist, and full-time train enthusiast came up with the name, a reference to the whiskey drunk at the meetings and the penchant the members had for all things mechanical. He and his friends met every Thursday in the upper room of Percy's Pickle Parlor. There, they would "talk of all things literary and drink [sic] straight whiskey bourbon..." . The club started off with just a handful off members but soon grew after female author Claire Delhoun joined.
