Description
"The American Boy was a monthly magazine published by The Sprague Publishing Co. of Detroit, Michigan from November 1899 to August 1941. At the time it was the largest magazine for boys, with a circulation of 300,000, and it featured action stories and advertising for the young boy.
In 1911 a copy cost $0.10, and a years subscription was $1.00. Format was 16" high by 12" wide. Founded by William C. Sprague of the Detroit-based Sprague Publishing Company in 1900, Griffith Ogden Ellis took over as President and editor in 1908.] J. Cotner Jr. was Secretary and Treasurer; H.D. Montgomerie was Managing Editor and Clarence Budington Kelland was Assistant Editor. In 1929, Ellis merged the magazine with its rival, Youth's Companion, and in 1939 he sold his interest to his business manager, Elmer Presley Grierson. Franklin M. Reck was managing editor from 1936 to 1941."
Clarence Budington Kelland published the novel Arizona in 1939 the basis for the motion picture the following year.
"Kelland bought a house in Phoenix, Arizona, in 1937, and became active in national politics at about the same time. He was politically active as a Republican, serving as the Republican National Committeeman from Arizona from 1940 to 1956.
Before 1941, he was a non-interventionist, opposing U.S. involvement in what became the Second World War. Earlier, in the 1920s, he had favored complete exclusion of the Japanese from the U.S., saying, 'I have believed for many years that the Japanese menace is a real one.'"
