This 1926 Adventure magazine contains five complete short stories and two serial installments. W. C. Tuttle's novel-length feature, "The Buckaroo of Blue Wells," follows James Eaton Legg, a discontented San Francisco bookkeeper, who quits his job at a wholesale grocer after receiving a mysterious letter from a Chicago law firm, then heads west to Arizona to become a cowpuncher. Supporting stories include "Red Stripes" by Hugh Pendexter set in pioneer Ohio; "Jukes" by Bill Adams, a maritime tale about a man attempting to return home; and "The Phantom Major" by Larry Barretto concerning World War combat. Gordon Young's serial "Treasure" (Part III) features a South Seas setting with a commandeered bark. Additional content includes short fiction on aviation and gold prospecting, period verse, and regular departments addressing readers' questions and travel information. The issue includes Lysol shaving cream advertising.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
