Munsey's Magazine, Volume XXI (1899)

This index from Volume XXI documents a comprehensive general-interest magazine featuring substantial nonfiction alongside fiction. The special articles span contemporary topics: geopolitics ("Cape to Cairo Railroad," "Today in the Philippines," pieces on the Spanish-American War and Dreyfus affair); American institutions and society ("Cuba Under American Rule," "New Wall Street," "Ball Giving in New York," articles on Coney Island and Hudson River summer homes); and technological progress ("Age of Invention," railroad safety). Three serials run throughout the volume—Anthony Hope's The King's Mirror, Max Pemberton's The Garden of Swords, and Stanley J. Weyman's Sophia—alongside numerous short stories and storiettes exploring romantic and domestic themes. Poetry contributors include Clinton Scollard and Bliss Carman. Regular departments cover theater, literary chat, and society.
