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] | |
