POPULAR NOVEL PUBLISHED ON THIS DAY
Uncle Tom’s Cabin Book Cover First Edition.
Harried Beecher Stowe was an American author and abolitionist
who came from the religious Beecher family and wrote the popular
novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, which depicts the harsh conditions experienced by enslaved African Americans.
The book reached an audience of millions as a novel and play,
and became influential in the United States and in Great Britain,
energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North, while
provoking widespread anger in the South. Stowe wrote 30
books, including novels, three travel memoirs, and collections
of articles and letters. She was influential both for her writings
as well as for her public stances and debates on social issues
of the day.

CLASSIC LIFE COVER FROM THIS DAY IN 1962
REMEMBER THE MAGAZINE GUYS AND GALS?
Walt Disney’s Magazine (formerly as Walt Disney’s Mickey Mouse
Club Magazine) was a magazine that was launched in late 1955
and produced by Disney Studio staff members and published by
Western Printing in New York.
Originally designed to promote The Mickey Mouse Club, the focus
shifted to Disney productions in general by the middle of the
second volume, when the name was changed. The first volume
was issued quarterly, the remaining three volumes bimonthly.
For the last volume, the physical size of the magazine was reduced
about 10%, while the number of pages increased slightly and better quality paper was used.
In 1962, Disney bought out Western Printing’s interest in all of its
Disney related items, including this magazine, which had ceased publishing several years earlier.
