Short Stories, July 25, 1938

A rather odd-looking cover from a generally excellent pulp magazine, as featured this week on the WesternPulps website. For many years, the cover illustrations on SHORT STORIES always featured a prominent red sun somewhere in them. I've never read anything by Caddo Cameron, but he had a great name for a Western writer, whoever he was. This issue also has a story by James B. Hendryx, an author with enough avid readers, even after all these years, to have a Yahoo group devoted to him and his work. Hendryx wrote primarily "Northerns" set in the Yukon during the Gold Rush. I've read only one story by him, but I enjoyed it a lot and he's one of those authors whose work I really need to read more of.
