Early Magazine Work

A more accurate title for this section would be "Early Work Preceding and Contiguous with the first years of Lamb's Writing for Adventure," but as that wouldn't fit on a navigation button and sounds cumbersome, I didn't use it.

"Marching Sands" and "Caravan of the Dead" were both printed in hardback by Appleton (as Marching Sands and House of the Falcon, respectively). In general Lamb's early magazine work lacked the fire and originality found in his Adventure stories, but there may be some undiscovered gems among these.
