Argosy:    (about) Started as a boys’ magazine; in 1888 widened its areas of interest but was still basically juvenile. In Oct-1896 became an all-fiction magazine. Remained one of the leading fiction pulps until 1943 when it changed to a men’s adventure magazine. Circulation peaked at 500,000 in 1907. Argosy carried the “combined with All-American Fiction Magazine” on its front cover in decreasing sizes of type from September 24, 1938 through December 17, 1938--a total of 11 issues. The final issue of the main sequence of the magazine is “November- December 1978”. It is Vol. 338, No. 3, a misnumbering since the preceding two issues (September and October) bore the volume number of 388. This was followed by at least four issues in 1979 from a different publisher for which Argosy was subtitled “for a Greater America” and was focussed on articles attacking the government. The 1990 incarnation was a semi-pro version, with a good helping of SF. The origin of the numbering is not known, but does not derive from the earlier incarnations.

The Golden Argosy Fiction, poetry (except that within letter, puzzle, etc. columns), and long and/or signed articles are indexed; short/unsigned filler material is ignored.
