Harold Hersey

While Mrs. Hersey and two daughters stayed at home, Doc took Harold with him on globe-trotting reportorial assignments.

[1] Hersey worked at the Library of Congress for eight years while getting a degree from George Washington University at night.

Hersey moved to Greenwich Village, New York, and helped Margaret Sanger launch her journal Birth Control Review.

[4] In 1917, Hersey teamed up with Arthur Moss to publish The Quill, a literary and satire magazine.

[9] Hersey was editor of Minaret magazine in Washington, D. C., with Shaemus O. Sheele, and Herbert Bruncken.

It is often cited as the first all-fantasy pulp, but in actuality it blended straight drama, adventure, sea stories, mysteries, etc., while also featuring a bit of fantasy.

Magazine Publishers, with former Dell editor Aron Wyn at the helm, turned into the chain known as the Ace Group.

Hersey founded another pulp chain, Good Story Magazine Company, with financial backing from Macfadden.

Within a few months, a dozen titles had been issued, including some now-rare one-shots like Thrills of the Jungle and Love and War Stories.
