A bit of trivia. Wade Phillips knows the answer so he can't play. :)
Which American published "non-archery" magazine has "likely" published the most archery and archery related articles from 1878-1930?
-
Harpers Bazaar?
-
TIME?
-
Fur, Fish and Game

From 1878-81, Will Thompson was the archery editor and most frequent contributor; Maurice provided a few items as well. Archers many times used pseudonyms as we do on the net today. "Pacific Poor Shot" is my all time favorite.
When archery came back into favor in the early 1900s, this magazine once again began published articles from Edward Weston, Robert Elmer, Rendtorff, James Challiss, G.L. Nichols, Saxton Pope, Z.E. Jackson, James Duff, Van Allen Lyman, Donald Cole, Cassius STyles and Albert Andrews....archers who later contributed to ABR, Ye Sylvan Archer and Archery.
I have a complete three year run of this magazine from 1878-1881 which includes all the articles published during this period in bound volumes. It was published weekly during this period.
By the early 1900s, it changed from weekly to monthly. Recently I picked up another by Cassius Styles, the second I have published by him in this magazine. He also contributed at least one article to Outdoor Life.
I've found, the best history record of American archery is included in the weekly and monthly periodicals since 1878. Much of what later was published in book form was compiled from these early published articles.
An example of some articles:
“American Bows” - Thompson, Will H. - Vol 12, 10 April 1879, 196
“Long-Range Archery” - Weston, W. B. [N.K.D.] - 24 April 1979, 228

How about 'Life' magazine...............Shick
-
I actually made a post on this thread earlier not sure what happend to it but I'am with Shick on this one...life
-
Kelly's close but it isn't "Field and Stream." The magazine in question came first, Field and Stream later, but the mystery magazine was absorbed by "Field and Stream" in 1930.
Both "Field and Steam" and the mystery magazine were published as competitors during a number of years.
-
That would be Forest and Stream!
Ninth oldest magazine in the U. S., forerunner of all other U. S. sporting magazines, Forest and Stream was founded in 1873 by the late Charles Hallock. It was dedicated to the conservation of wild life, induced the birth of the National Association of Audubon Societies, sponsored the National Park Movement, the U. S.-Canada treaty on migratory birds, lately the Migratory Bird Sanctuary Bill in Congress. For 35 years George Bird Grinnell, naturalist-author, was editor. Famed contributors included Theodore Roosevelt, James Alexander Henshall, Martin Elmer Johnson, James L. Clarke.
-
And most importantly, Forest & Stream provided a place for archery during its infancy in the late 1870s and during it's resurgence in the early 1900s.

Cool Stuff,
I dispised History class in High School and college, but thirst for it now.
Nice post, Trap

Cliff - Now you need to ask them about the other 1800s magazines with archery articles, the ones not yet named in this thread...
Not just the names of the magazine, but the actual subjects of the archery articles...

Dang Wade, I'm not sure I can get that one right. :)

I'll do this. When someone indentifies a pre-1900 periodical, I'll provide the list of archery related articles from an extensive bibliography I've developed over the years.
Orig. or copy in front of the listing identifies I have the original or copy of the article.

Liquid Amber - great bibliographies - I made sure that I made a copy. These are invaluable! Keep up the great work!
Three questions: [1] do you know the name of a well known archer of his day who penned "The Merry Bowmen of America - Archer's rising inflection after fifty years". It appeared in the "The Sportsman" [Concorde?] in February, 1932. [2] as you pointed out, Will Thompson was the archery editor of "Forest & Stream" from 1879-81 -- in 1881, Will Thompson was also the 'editorial contributor' to what archery periodical? [3] who claimed to be the leading archery house in the West as well as the "Western Deport for Horsman's Celebrated Archery" during the period 1879-81?

My last line should have read "Western Depot...".

Frentz
The Archery Field
Spalding
-
Nice work Liquid Amber -- first two answers are correct; however, the answer to question "3" is John Wilkinson of Chicago.
Tox Collector
-
I didn't have time to dig around for #3 and knew Spalding was from Chicag and Chicago was "the" west at that time...so I just took a shot. :)
Frentz published a number of archery related articles and his stuff still remains a good source of early history and I have used the article in question as reference many times. I still have a couple to locate and acquire still.
Do you have any stuff Will wrote for The Archery Field?
-
I thought that you might have the Frentz article. It's a great article, and it provides a nice historical perspective on American archery during the late 1800's.
Spaulding was a excellent guess for No. 3. Spaulding, of course, published "Archery" by James S. Mitchell in 1895, "Spaulding's Official Archery Guide" compiled by Louis W. Maxson in 1906 [two editions of the 1906 booklet were produced] and "Spaulding's Official Archery Guide" compiled by Louis W. Maxson and revised by Edward B. Weston in 1910. It was this latter Spaulding pamphlet that Dr. Robert P. Elmer referred to when he took up archery. Elmer corresponded with Weston in 1910 concerning equipment and shooting style. Dr. Elmer had turned to archery as a result of his foot being run overy by a wagon loaded with coal several years earlier. If that had not happened, we wouldn't have had the benefit of all of his books as well as the revitalization of the United Bowmen. Today, these Spaulding booklets are becoming quite rare to find especially in nice condition.
Spaulding was a relatively large player in the archery arena in the late 1800's and early 1900's. They imported archery tackle from Aldred's in England as well as produced their own archery goods.
I am off to visit my daughter today in New York so I will check on your Will Thompson question when I get back. As I recall from my review of "Archery Field" for the 1881 year [I only have the 1881 year], most of the commentary involved meets, scores and that sort of information -- not the more interesting type articles identified in the bibliographies mentioned above.

Liquid Amber - I checked the volume of The Archery Field that I have and didn't locate anything of real value written by Will Thompson. The publication concerns itself with tournaments, scores, etc. The last issue noted that it was going out of business because it cost them a nickle to publish the periodical and their income was only 2 cents an issue.
One item that I have is an "Archery Scrapbook, 1879-1916" compiled by Albert Kern [see pp. 408 of "A Bibliography of Archery" by Lake and Wright]. I contains cuttings, some photos as well correspondence between Kern and other prominent archers of that era including the Thompsons and L. W. Maxson, etc.
Kern had been president of the NAA in 1888, 1889, 1890 and 1895. His wife was the NAA women's champion in 1894 as well as the NAA women's flight champion in 1889, 1890 and 1899.
Edward B. Weston, who was president of the NAA at that time, wrote a letter to members in March of 1908 encouraging members to "encourage and promote archery...". He noted "archery in the March magazines: Recreation, NY ["The Gentle Pastime of Archery", by Edwin L. Sabin]; Western Field, San Francisco ["Archery - The Sport of All Ages by Arthur Inkersley]; The Sportmen's Review, Cincinnati ["A Gold at One Hundred Yeards", by Frank E. Canfield]; The Sporting Goods Dealer, St. Louis ["About Archery", by Cortice Chancellor]. He also stated that A. C. McClurg & Co., Chicago will have for sale "Archery for Beginners" by Col. H. Walrond, London noting that it is a valuable little book.
The magazines you have cited in your bibliographies provide the best look at archery during those years. :clapper:
