About this title

Synopsis

Timeless tales of sport, travel, and recreation from the turn of the century

This illustrated monthly magazine gathers essays, how-to guides, and fiction set against early outdoor adventures, sailing, hunting, and travel across America and beyond. A vivid snapshot of leisure life at the dawn of the 20th century, with period photography and frontispieces that bring the era to life.

The issues in this volume offer a broad spectrum: practical advice on athletic training, canoeing, cycling, and fishing; hunting journals and wildlife features; travel stories across oceans and inland byways; and fiction that captures the mood of curiosity and adventure. Readers will encounter a mix of instructional articles, travel notes, and entertaining narratives, all presented with the magazine’s characteristic illustration and layout.

• Explore practical tips on weights, races, and boating equipment alongside travelogues from Madeira, Antigua, and the American coast.
• Read about fishing, gun clubs, and game protection, plus illustrated feature pieces on yachting, lawn tennis, and ice yachting.
• Enjoy short fiction and poems that celebrate the outdoors, seasons, and the spirit of exploration, all complemented by woodcuts and frontispieces.
• Discover period journalism and reviews that track amateur sports and pastimes of the era, from rowing to hunting to photography.

Ideal for readers who enjoy vintage sports magazines, early travel writing, and historical glimpses of American leisure culture at the turn of the century. It’s a great pick for collectors and curious newcomers alike who want a window into how enthusiasts of the era described their world.
