For the last Saturday Morning Western Pulp of the year, here's an issue of LARIAT STORY MAGAZINE with a nice cover by John Drew. Walt Coburn and Eugene Cunningham are the big-name authors in this one. Homer King Gordon and Edgar L. Cooper were prolific and popular at the time but forgotten today. Bart Cassidy is remembered because that pseudonym was used often, but not always, by Harry F. Olmsted. But Cooper is known to have used it, as well, and since he has a story in this issue under his own name, I think it's at least possible that he was Bart Cassidy in this case, not Olmsted. John Starr was a widely-used house name, so there's no telling who wrote the story under that byline in this issue, and Dan Dermody has only two credits in the Fictionmags Index, this one and a story in the July 1927 issue of NORTH-WEST STORIES. Despite what the cover says, T.W. Ford is nowhere to be found in this one, but he had a story in the previous issue that might have been scheduled for this one originally but got bumped up a month for some reason. I hope to be back next week with some comments on a pulp I own and have read.
