(quote) [RLS]'s New Serial Novel, entitled The Master of Ballantrae, begun in this issue, is the first serial story every written by its author for an American magazine. It is a tale of adventure and romance; the action opens in Scotland and moves from there to the United States, thence to Scotland again, to India, back to Scotland, and finally to the United States, the last of the hero's adventures happening here in America. The novel is illustrated by Mr. William Hole, who was selected by the author to do the work. --"Ready at 11 O'clock. Scribner's Magazine. A Remarkable Number for November.", NY Times 1888-10-25 p5

"American ethnographer, folklorist, and translator." "From 1883 to 1891 he was employed by the Bureau of American Ethnology as a field researcher documenting the customs and mythologies of various Native American tribes." "Curtin compiled one of the first accurate collections of Irish folk material, and was an important source for W. B. Yeats."
Beside North American tribes and the Irish, Library of Congress catalog records show that Curtin collected folk material from Siberia, from Mongols, from Poles and Russians; and that he translated from Polish (Sienkiewicz) and Russian (Tolstoy).
