Contents as follows:
SHORT STORIES:

“Loser’s End” by Matt Taylor and illustrated by Jon Whitcomb

“Mountain of Gold” by Sidney Herschel Small and illustrated by Earl Crodrey

Each of the following two stories would very soon be made into a couple of the most popular films of the late 1930’s, one being one of the greatest Westerns of all-time, the other being a very strong screwball comedy:

“Stage to Lordsburg” by Ernest Haycox and illustrated by Ronald McLeod
This story is the basis for John Ford’s Stagecoach, one of my all-time favorites, starring John Wayne (greatest film entrance ever, perhaps?). You can check the imdb page to confirm this is the same story. Great find!

“Bringing Up Baby” by Hagar Wilde and illustrated by Earl Oliver Hurst
This one was a surprise, but turn the page after Stagecoach and you come to “Bringing Up Baby”, soon made into a classic screwball comedy of the same name starring Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant. Here’s the imdb page for that classic as well.

“The Devil’s Song” by Harold Lamb and illustrated by Dan Sweeney

“A Matter of Sentiment” the short short story by Frederick Hazlitt Brennan and illustrated by Robert O. Reid

SERIAL STORIES:

“Six Golden Angels” — Part 1 — by Harold Lamb and illustrated by Harry Morse Meyers

“Castle Key” — Part 7 — by Dwight Mitchell Wiley and illustrdated by Jon Whitcomb
