My new book, Barclay of the Mounted, pays homage to the western pulp tales of the 1930s. The book's cover pays tribute to the pulp covers of the time.
The first all-western pulp, Street and Smith's Western Story Magazine was first released in 1919 and lasted for thirty years. Western Story Magazine would face stiff competition in the 1920s & 30s when magazines such as Wild West Weekly started publishing more violent stories.
Dozens of other western pulp magazines appeared around this time, such as Lariat, Texas Rangers, Thrilling Ranch Stories, and a plethora of titles with the word West or Western in them.
Complete Northwest Novel Magazine (1935-1940) typically carried a red-coated mounted policeman on the cover. The magazine was published in New York.
Barclay of the Mounted can be found on Amazon!
