Munsey's Magazine, Volume XLIV
· October 1910–March 1911

This index from Volume XLIV documents a comprehensive general-interest magazine combining serious articles with fiction. The special articles section covers political figures (Champ Clark, David Lloyd George, George V), historical romantic couples ("Famous Affinities" including Marie Antoinette and Count Fersen, Lola Montez and King Ludwig), contemporary issues (war preparedness, tariff and living costs, railroad regulation), and miscellaneous topics (bass fishing, forest rangers, insomnia, trained nurses). Contributors include established writers like Brander Matthews and prominent journalists Isaac Marcosson and T. P. O'Connor.
The short story section offers diverse domestic and adventure narratives: "The Banana Circuit," "Shanghaied Baby," "Trail of the Silk," and "Surinam Toads" represent adventure tales, while "Christmas for Two," "Her Trip to New York," and "Just Like a Man" depict contemporary domestic situations. Authors include Dorothy Canfield, Theodore Roberts, and Clarence B. Kelland. Two serials by James Oliver Curwood and Lloyd Osbourne appear alongside departments for light verse, theater reviews, and financial content.
