| • Plus poetry. • The Reader's Viewpoint reveals The Golden Argosy #1, a large size 8-page weekly, was for Dec 9, 1882; it became monthly Apr 1894, then weekly in Oct 1917. The All-Story began as a monthly Jan 1905, went weekly Mar 7, 1914, merged with Argosy Jul 24, 1920. • Worts' The Return of George Washington is the readers' favorite (but for one).
