About This Item

New York: Broadway Magazine Incorporated, 1911. First Edition, First Printing. Wrappers. Near fine. A Near Fine copy of this issue of Hampton's Magazine for March, 1911, a monthly magazine. This issue contains works by Dr. Frederick A. Cook, Owen Johnson and others, and most importantly, presents the first appearance of Jack London's short story "The Strength of the Strong" (illustrated by Dan Sayre Groesbeck). The magazine is in excellent condition and is quite clean and bright within. The covers extend beyond the page block and consequently show small tears, and the spine panel shows only a touch of damage. London's "The Strength of the Strong" did not appear in book form until May, 1914, more than three years after this first appearance of this story (which became the title story of a 1914 collection of Jack London's short stories, a grouping of seven socialistic tales). The story is about cavemen who discover the benefits of group solidarity and reject the lies of their "Lip-King", thus mocking Rudyard Kipling, a capitalist and champion of Britain's empire. A remarkable copy of the first appearance of this notable Jack London tale.
