The OVERLAND MONTHLY

The OVERLAND MONTHLY
   US magazine founded by Bret Harte (1836-1902), published in San Francisco by A. Roman \& Co., monthly, July 1868-Dec 1875, then again Jan 1883-July 1935. Under the editorship of Millicent W. Shinn a special "TwentiethCentury" issue - June 1890 - contained articles and essays all directly related to Edward BELLAMY's then much discussed work Looking Backward, 2000-1887 (1888). In addition, its 6 fiction contributions were all sf,including an early translation of Kurd LASSWITZ (Chapter 1 of "Bis zum Nullpunkt des Seins" (1871), under the title "Pictures out of the Future"). This is the earliest known case of a general magazine devoting an issue exclusively to sf. OM is known for its publication of poetry and fiction by Clark Ashton SMITH in the 1910s and 1920s, and for several "Yellow Peril" stories by little-known authors.
