This video on the Zaporozian Siech of the Cossacks should be of interest to Harold Lamb fans. Best enjoyed full screen in HD.
And if you haven't read any of the stories yet, now would be a good time to click the link above and get at least one of the collections. I recommend starting with this one
Pulp magazines, authors and their stories. Adventure and Detective pulps.

R.W. Daly - Seeker of the Deep
Last week, I reviewed the July 1952 issue of Adventure. I mentioned the story by R.W. Daly. I have read some stories by him in the 1940s too and felt that he was one of the better writers in the forties. He wrote excellent historical naval fiction, but sadly there are none available now. As a sample of his excellent work, here is the story from the 1952 issue for your reading pleasure.
If you read it and like it, leave a note in the comments section.

Adventure, July 1952 - review
Review of one of the last issues of Adventure, this issue was quite undistinguished and I just happened to pick it because it was at the top of the pile. Ratings for each story at the end on a 5 point scale.
Cover by Monroe Eisenberg, the cover has nothing to do with any story inside as far as I can make out.

Pulp Artist's site: Gloria Stoll Karn
She has done covers for Black Mask, Dime Mystery, Detective Tales, and New Detective. Also Rangeland Romances, All-Story Love, New Love, Love Book, Love Short Stories, Love Novels, Romance, and Thrilling Love magazines.
In addition, she did interior illustrations for Argosy magazine.
Her website at http://gloriastollkarn.com/ has some of her cover artwork and contact information.
Surely a worthy candidate for guest of honor at a pulp convention.
