Magazine of Western History

Not to be confused with Montana: The Magazine of Western History.

The Magazine of Western History, in its last three years The National Magazine, was published from 1884 to 1894. According to the Encyclopedia of Cleveland History, among Cleveland publications it was "the only journal possibly ranked by literary and artistic excellence, although only a small portion was devoted to poetry and fiction."^[1] As the magazine's name suggests, most of its contents were devoted to history.
