Artifact Overview
Newspaper and magazine publisher Frank A. Munsey printed Argosy magazine with all fiction stories in 1896, launching a new form of popular literature--the pulp magazine.

Readers could choose from action and adventure stories, like those published in Argosy, as well detective stories, love stories, and westerns.
