This 1958 pulp magazine issue, edited by Robert A. W. Lowndes and published by Columbia Publications, contains three main pieces of fiction: "Feudin' Guns" by Harlan Clay, a western novel following Pat Curran, a reformed outlaw who returns home to find his father dead and his wilder brother Larry still pursuing the lawless life; "Light of the Eagle's Plume" by Pete Carter, a historical novella set in early Montana about a Harvard schoolteacher and a Nez Perce chief's son, Benjamin, who journey to Black Eagle Falls seeking eagle plumes, only for Benjamin to die of plague on his wedding day; and "Nine Deadly Deeds" by Lon Williams, involving George Almond seeking proof of a land title while preparing for his enemy Brock Tuel. The issue also includes a poem, "The Passing of Belial Young" by Edward Garner. The magazine features editorial notes about streamlined paper for easier handling.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
