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. Named for the rough, inexpensive woodpulp paper they were printed on, "pulps" reached their peak of popularity in the 1920s. Readers could choose from action and adventure stories, like those published in Argosy, as well detective stories, love stories, and westerns.
