Munsey's Magazine, Volume XXIII (1900)
· April–September 1900

This issue of *Munsey's Magazine* Volume XXIII contains diverse nonfiction articles alongside serialized and short fiction. Featured serials include F. Marion Crawford's multi-part narrative, Henry Seton Merriman's work, and stories by Max Pemberton and Stanley J. Weyman. The substantial nonfiction includes articles on contemporary American subjects: the 1900 Census, national political conventions, the Panama Canal, Porto Rico's future, and the Boer War's "Man of Mafeking." Other articles cover cultural and social topics—grand opera as business, life-saving at sea, the New York Ghetto, Mormon practices, and Cuban society. Short stories by Anne O'Hagan, E. Grant Crans, and others appear alongside numerous storiettes and verse. Regular departments include "In the Public Eye," "Literary Chat," and theatrical coverage. The magazine reflects turn-of-the-century American interests in technology, politics, empire, and entertainment.
