Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"St. Nicholas, Vol. 13, No. 10, August 1886" by Various is a late 19th-century periodical collection aimed at young readers. This issue compiles adventure stories, poems, illustrated articles, serialized fiction, and informative essays, reflecting the tastes and interests of its era's youth. The overall theme centers on adventure, learning, nature, and imaginative storytelling, with both instructive non-fiction and engaging tales that showcase a variety of characters and experiences. The opening of this issue features a vivid memoir of solitary life in the Rocky Mountains, describing the narrator’s daily routines, encounters with wildlife like bears, antelopes, wolves, and mountain lions, and a profound sense of companionship with his horse and dog. It is followed by a series of short poems and stories—ranging from a tale of a well-intentioned seamstress, to humorous verses about animals, and then transitions to serialized fiction such as "Little Lord Fauntleroy," focusing on the lives and emotions of its characters after a significant departure. The periodical's opening demonstrates a blend of adventure, humor, everyday observations, and serialized narratives, giving readers a wide-ranging introduction to the magazine's diverse and lively content.
