The Golden Era (about)

In one form or another The Golden Era was in its 35th year, more or less, in 1885 in San Francisco.
Originally begun as a tabloid literary paper (or so I am told), in this 1885 incarnation it was Standard size or slightly smaller. I append some of the info supplied in one issue.
The magazine later moved from San Francisco to San Diego and continued there for a while. Jesse Shepherd, of whom I have written earlier, stopped giving piano recitals and became a full-time writer after his initial sales to this magazine. The world of letters did not quake; but it is worth noting that his memoir of growing up in the time of Abraham Lincoln is STILL IN PRINT today.
These issues contained many illustrations of local people, buildings, etc. The volume I examined, at the Oakland Public Library’s local history room, is missing the first 82 pages and it is possible there were fiction pieces in those. (If there was a Table of Contents it is also lost.)
Editor: Harr Wagner Publisher: Golden Era Company, 712 Montgomery, San Francisco.

Golden Nugget (about)

Golden Nugget was the first attempt by the Gold family at producing a men’s magazine and of defininte fictionmaggish interest thanks to the involvement of New Worlds veterans Mike Moorcock, J. G. Ballard and Langdon Jones. Jones was working for the Golds as a photographer and editor (and as Assistant Editor on New Worlds) and was probably the editor and art editor here. Moorcock (as Bill Barclay) was Features Editor and, as you would expect, the magazine included articles by and about J. G. Ballard and William Burroughs in these two issues. “John Michael” was probably a Moorcock - full name Michael John Moorcock - pen-name; he was certainly behind the Hank Janson story in issue 9 (subsequently revised for inclusion in Fabulous Harbours). The other Janson stories were written by James Moffatt.

Golden Nugget was published by Dagg Books Ltd., 42-44 Dock Street, London, E.1. but lasted a mere nine months, March to November 1966. 8" x 11".

Publishers: Dagg Books Ltd.; London.
