Munsey's Magazine, Volume XXXI (1904)

This index from Volume XXXI presents a diverse periodical mixing current affairs with fiction. Special articles cover contemporary topics: Theodore Roosevelt's personality, Paul Morton, the 1904 U.S. Army, the St. Louis Fair's Art Palace, New York's subway, motor boating, labor unions, and international matters including Japan's naval strength and the "Yellow Peril." Historical pieces examine the Confederacy's final generals, Charles Dickens and Washington Irving's friendship, and Russian history. Three serials run throughout: Stanley Weyman's historical novel The Abbess of Vlaye, Anthony Hope's Double Harness, and Louis Joseph Vance's Milady of the Mercenaries. Numerous short stories and storiettes—typically domestic, sentimental, or mildly comic tales by authors like Grace MacGowan Cooke, Edward Boltwood, and Anne O'Hagan—populate the volume. Regular departments include theatrical reviews, literary commentary, and topical poetry.
