Adventure Magazine, November (1910s)

This first issue of Adventure magazine features serials and short fiction emphasizing treasure-seeking, romance, and international intrigue. Gouverneur Morris's serialized "Yellow Men and Gold," touted as comparable to Treasure Island and Moran of the Lady Letty, begins the issue with the narrator, an unsuccessful author turned adventure-seeker, recounting fifteen lean years writing fiction before modest success, followed by commercial failure that leaves him financially desperate. The issue includes the complete novelette "The Crook and the Doctor" by John I. Cochrane; short stories such as William Le Queux's "The Red Ring," Donal Hamilton Haines's "On the Way to La Gloria," and multiple adventure tales across land and sea; and factual articles on lion hunting in East Africa and other exotic locations. The magazine emphasizes diverse adventure across romance, war, politics, and international settings.
