The Pursuit Detective Story Magazine

Country: US
Total Issues: 18

The Pursuit Detective Story Magazine was launched by Star Publications in September 1953 but was really a throwback to the no-nonsense pulps of the 1940s. After a dozen (mainly) bimonthly issues, the formula was popular enough for the publisher to launch a second title, Hunted Detective Story Magazine, which was identical to Pursuit and appeared in alternate months. Both magazines ran for a further two years before folding at the end of 1956.

Putnam's Monthly [1853]

Country: US

Subtitled "A Magazine of Literature, Science and Art". Has been called "the best all-round quality magazine ever published in America," though with minimal illustration, and was noted for work by Herman Melville, George W. Curtis, Fitz-James O'Brien, Parke Godwin, James Fenimore Cooper etc; it was likened to an American Blackwood's but more mellow and attractive.

Merged with Emerson's United States Magazine in 1857 to form Emerson's Magazine and Putnam's Monthly then relaunched in 1868 as Putnam's Magazine of Literature, Science, Art, and National Interests only to merge with Hours at Home after three years to form Scribner's Monthly.
