Adventure (magazine)
Encyclopedia
Adventure magazine was first published in November 1910 as a monthly pulp magazine
. Adventure went on become one of the most profitable and critically acclaimed of all the American pulp magazines. In 1915 the publishers attempted to reach women readers with a new title (Stories of Life, Love, and Adventure), but it went back to its male readership and original title in 1917. The magazine had 881 issues. The magazine's first editor was Trumbull White, he was succeeded in 1912 by Arthur Sullivant Hoffman
(1876–1966), who
would edit the magazine until 1927.
, Baroness Orczy, Damon Runyon
and William Hope Hodgson
. Subsequently the magazine cultivated its own group of authors (who Hoffman dubbed his
"Writers' Brigade") including Talbot Mundy
, T.S. Stribling, Arthur O. Friel
, brothers Patrick & Terence Casey, J. Allan Dunn
, Harold Lamb
, Gordon Young, Arthur D. Howden Smith
, H. Bedford-Jones
, W.C. Tuttle, Gordon MacCreagh,
Henry S. Whitehead
, Hugh Pendexter
, and L. Patrick Greene
.
In 1912, Hoffman and his assistant,the novelist Sinclair Lewis
created a popular identity card with a serial number for readers. If the bearer were killed, someone finding the card would notify the magazine who would in turn notify the next of kin of the hapless adventurer. The popularity of the card amongst travelers led to the formation of the Adventurers Club of New York. The original New York Adventurers Club led to similar clubs in Chicago (1913), Los Angeles (1921), Copenhagen (1937) and Honolulu (1955).
Hoffman also was secretary of an organization named the "Legion" that had Theodore Roosevelt
as one of its vice presidents. Membership cards of the organization included member's skills and specialties that were forwarded to the War Department when the United States entered World War I
, the information being eventually used to create two regiments of aviation
mechanics.
Hoffman's group would later provide a model for the organisation of the American Legion
after the war.
Adventure's letters page, The Camp-Fire featured Hoffman's editorials,background by the authors to their stories and discussions by the readers. At Hoffman's suggestion, a number of Camp-Fire Stations - locations where other readers of Adventure could meet up - were established. Robert Kenneth Jones notes that Adventure readers "..often wrote in to report on meeting new friends through these stations." By 1924, there were Camp-Fire Stations established across the US and in several other countries, including Britain
, Australia
, Egypt
and Cuba
. Adventure also offered Camp-Fire buttons which readers wore.
Adventure featured several other notable columns, including:

In addition, Adventure under Hoffman also showcased the work of several famous artists, including Rockwell Kent
, John R. Neill
