On August 14, 1873, "Forest and Stream" began publishing. It merged with "Field and Stream" in 1930. From the article:
"Forest and Stream was a magazine featuring hunting, fishing, and other outdoor activities in the United States. The journal was founded in August 1873 by Charles Hallock. At the time of its 1930 cancellation it was the ninth oldest magazine still being issued in the US.[1]
Published in New York City by Hallock in newspaper format measuring 16" x 11", it published many articles by "Nessmuk" (George W. Sears) in the 1880s that helped to popularize canoeing, the Adirondack lakes, self-guided canoe camping tours and ultralight camping.
An early vehicle for conservationism,[2] Forest and Stream was dedicated to wildlife conservation, helped to launch the National Audubon Society, was an early sponsor the national park movement, and supported the U.S.-Canadian Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.[1]
Naturalist George Bird Grinnell was editor for 35 years, and contributors included Theodore Roosevelt.[1] Another notable contributor was Theodore Gordon, long considered "the father of American dry fly fishing," who began writing for the magazine in 1903.[3]
The magazine merged with Field and Stream in 1930.[1]"

My grandfather was born and raised in Forsyth, Missouri (about twelve miles from Branson). He was a hunter and fly fisherman. He always had the latest issue next to his chair. I read that faithfully while growing up! PO1 H Gene Lawrence

Grew up with Field and Stream and kept a subscription for a while when in the AF but ultimately stopped all magazine subscriptions. Only ones I get anymore are from organizational life memberships.
