Abstract
An unfinished and undated issue of the Nelson brothers' periodical "The Western World," containing news and stories of their fictional characters and places, presented in a two-column format. The front page indicates the issue was "published by W.R. Nelson." The first story, "Jimmy" tells of Jimmy Allen, the son of Ethan Allen and is attributed to Walter Nelson. Jimmy is swept up in some large waves while canoeing. Consequently his boat is ruined and he must fight to get to the shore. Jimmy is put to bed to recover and Ethan Allen builds Jimmy a new boat. The next section, "Words Concerning the Navy," is an account of two gunboats, "The King" and "The Banner." The description of "The Banner" is unfinished. The remaining half page and one full page are formatted for columns and images but not filled in. The last page is a two-column list of assorted agricultural and hunting supplies.
