I am listing this book and a large collection of books by noted authors from the estate of John and Jean Siddall. Many of the books are author inscribed. John Siddall was the editor of "The American Magazine" in the mid to late 20's. A little information about John Siddall and "The American Magazine".
In June of 1906, muckraking journalists Ray Stannard Baker, Lincoln Steffens, and Ida M. Tarbell left "McClure's Magazine" to help create "American Magazine". Ray Stannard Baker contributed articles under the pseudynom David Grayson. Under John S. Phillips, who served as editor until 1915, the monthly magazine departed somewhat from the muckraking style and focused on human interest stories, social issues, and fiction. Initially published by his Phillips Publishing Company of Springfield, Ohio, it later was taken over by Crowell Publishing Company then merged to become Crowell-Collier who published it until its closure in 1956. With the changes in 1915, the magazine's editor was John M. Siddall (1915-1923) and it expanded its market considerably by concentrating on female readership. The "American Magazine" ceased publishing in August of 1956.
Among the noted authors who contributed regular were P.G.Wodehouse, David Grayson, Ida Tarbell, Walter Lippmann, H.G. Wells, Edna Ferber, Arthur Conan Doyle, Ellis Parker Butler, Upton Sinclair, Booth Tarkington, Harold Bell Wright, Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., Zane Grey and many, many more.
