The American Magazine was a
periodical publication founded in June
1906, a continuation of failed publications purchased a few years earlier from publishing mogul
Miriam Leslie. The original title,
Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly, had begun publishing in 1876 and was renamed
Leslie's Monthly Magazine in 1904, and then was renamed again as
Leslie's Magazine in 1905. From September 1905 through May 1906 it was called the
American Illustrated Magazine; then subsequently shortened as
The American Magazine until publication ceased in 1956. It kept continuous volume numbering throughout its history.
