McClures was the leading muckraking journal among the many which flourished at the turn of the century. Both a literary and political magazine, It introduced exciting new writers to the American scene (Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stevenson, A. Conan Doyle) and fearlessly championed the important causes of the day (from betterment of conditions in the coal mines to antitrust measures).
This is the story of McClures lifespan, beginning in Ohio when Samuel McClure gathered around himself a talented group of editors and writers (among them Willa Cather. Frank Norris. Stephen Crane, O. Henry. Hamlin Garland) and continuing to the magazines last days in New York City. The growing concern of the staff about American urban and commercial life led to such exposes as Ida Tarbells History of Standard Oil and Lincoln Steffens Shame of the Cities. McClures was a channel for those determined to combat the ills of society, and one of the first voices of the emerging Progressive Party.
