Harold Lamb, Adventure Author Extraordinaire | An appreciation of this fine historian and excellent writer of historical adventure stories, written by Howard Jones, who maintains The Curved Saber site, which is devoted to Lamb.
Harold Lamb's Grand Cham | Steve Young examines this Harold Lamb novel from a historical standpoint.
Ancient Viking Pulp | Norse folklore and stories have inspired writers and artists for many years. I can imagine H. Bedford-Jones reading Egil's Saga with an eye turned toward writing a serial about Viking raiders for Argosy or Blue Book.
Hawk's Reference Works | If you've ever read a pulp story and thought that its style reminded you of another author's writing, you may...
The Thrill of Adventure | The genre-specific pulps and hero pulps that marked the 1930s and '40s had their beginnings in the general adventure pulps -- magazines like Adventure, Argosy, Blue Book, and others. Their issues were filled with exciting tales in a variety of exotic locales -- the desert, the wild West, the African and South American jungles, battlefields from any number of wars, the seven seas, even other worlds.

Of "The Soul of a Regiment": Mundy on The Sudan | This article provides a brief historical background to "The Soul of a Regiment" and some sources to which interested readers can look for further information.

Mundy in The Writer, 1921 | A brief visit with Mundy, from the pages of The Writer magazine.
Mundy's Tibetan Stories | The Gault Papers: The following information was compiled and posted to the Internet by the late R.T. "Ditch" Gault. Talbot Mundy (born William Lancaster Gribbon in 1879) was one of the most interesting and colorful of the writers during the great age of adventure pulp fiction.
Mundy's Jimgrim Saga | Stories concerning James Grim (Jimgrim) formed the longest sustained series written by Talbot Mundy. The series ran from 1922 until 1932. Jimgrim supposedly died in Jimgrim (1930-31). Mundy did not take this seriously...
Mundy's Tros Saga | The saga of Tros of Samothrace is the most unified and sustained of Talbot Mundy's extended works. It is probably his best-remembered and most influential series, especially among science fiction and fantasy writers, who borrowed much from the cycle.
Omnibus Editions & Nonfiction | The information that follows wrapped up Gault's bibliographic material on Mundy. It appeared at the end of his other citations and comments. I've set it apart from the other sections, as its focus differs slightly from that of the other bibliographic areas he developed.
