That is until we first stumbled upon issues of 19thCentury Magazines.... We had no idea that such a wonderful publication ever existed.
Once The Door of Realization was Opened - We discovered an entire World of writing for Children and Families alike...
Among the longest lasting and most interesting is without a doubt ....
The Youth's Companion
Published in Boston weekly from 1827 to 1928 and monthly until its demise a year later.
I was fortunate enough to have discovered many issues and will post them regularly for the foreseeable future.
TYC magazine became the Largest Circulation of American Weekly Family Magazines and presented Wonderful 19th Century Literary Contributors.....
My proximity to Boston aided in the availability of the magazines, yet anything you find ANYTHING in Great condition from just about a Century ago is a Thrilling discovery...
