From Wikipedia;
The American Magazine was a periodical publication[1]
founded in June 1906, a continuation of failed
publications purchased a few years earlier from
publishing mogul Miriam Leslie[2]. It succeeded Frank
Leslie's Popular Monthly[3] (1876 1904), Leslie's Monthly
Magazine (1904 1905), Leslie's Magazine (1905) and the
American Illustrated Magazine (1905 1906).[1][4] The
magazine was published through August 1956.
History
[edit[5]]
Under the magazine's original title, Frank Leslie's
Popular Monthly[6], it had begun to be published in 1876
and was renamed Leslie's Monthly Magazine in 1904, and
then was renamed again as Leslie's Magazine in 1905.[2][7]
From September 1905, through May 1906, it was entitled
the American Illustrated Magazine; then subsequently
shortened as The American Magazine until publication
ceased in 1956. It kept continuous volume numbering
throughout its history.[2][8]
In June 1906, muckraking[9] journalists[10] Ray Stannard
Baker[11], Lincoln Steffens[12] and Ida M. Tarbell[13]
left McClure's[14] to help create The American Magazine.
An "Editorial Announcement" published in 1907 led with
Tarbell's coverage of tariff policy.[3][15] Baker
contributed articles using the pseudonym David Grayson[16]
. Under John Sanborn Phillips[17], who served as editor
until 1915, the monthly magazine departed somewhat from
the muckraking style and focused on human interest
stories, social issues and fiction. Initially published
by his Phillips Publishing Company of Springfield[18],
Ohio[19], it later was taken over by Crowell Publishing
Company in 1911,[4][20] and later merged with Collier's
[21]. The American Magazine was published by Crowell-
Collier[22] until it folded in 1956.[5][23]
Editors
[edit[24]]
With the changes in 1915, John M. Siddall (1915 23) was
appointed as editor of the periodical, which expanded its
market considerably by concentrating on a female
readership. The cover of the September 1917 issue
announced: "This Magazine's Circulation Has Doubled in 20
Months." The September 1922 cover stated circulation had
reached 1.8 million.
Merle Crowell served as editor of The American Magazine
from 1923 until 1929 when Sumner Blossom[25] took over.
Blossom, who had been editor of Popular Science[26], was
there for the last 27 years of the magazine's existence.
Fictional serials[27] and short stories[28] were a
popular feature, and the magazine published several
winners of the O. Henry Awards[29]. High-profile writers
contributed articles on a variety of topics.
During his editorship, Blossom adopted the policy of
hiding the author's name on all works of fiction during
the selection process as a way to encourage new fiction
writers. The magazine's staff learned the author's
identity only once they accepted or rejected a manuscript.
The last issue of The American Magazine was displayed on
newsstands in August 1956.[6][30]
Stories
[edit[31]]
In 1934, The American Magazine ran a story called "Uncle
Sam Grows Younger" that praised Alger Hiss[32]: "In his
twenties, he is one of the men chiefly responsible for
the plan to buy $650,000,000 worth of commodities to feed
the unemployed. He has too much spirit for his bodily
strength and is in danger of working himself to death."[7]
