You may remember that, a while back, I compiled a list of, and a link to, the Time Machine series of "Donald Keith," which featured a Boy Scout patrol in possession of an abandoned time machine. The stories appeared in Boys' Life between 1959 and 1989, and were fixed-up into a couple of books.

The intrepid [livejournal.com profile] planettom has picked up the bibliographic ball, and run much further down the field than I did. Behold: Synopses of all the Time Machine stories, with links to their texts. (He warns that they are full of spoilers.)

Former readers of the flagship magazine of the Boy Scouts of America may also be interested in [livejournal.com profile] planettom's list of episodes of the science fiction comic strip Space Conquerors! (The exclamation point is part of the title.) Intrepid astronauts inhabited the comics pages of Boys' Life between 1952 and 1972.

My hat's off to [livejournal.com profile] planettom! (The exclamation point is part of the sentence.)

I've updated my 14 May entry on Donald Keith's Time Machine stories, since Google Books has acquired more scans.

At this point, I believe I have links to every Time Machine story appearing in Boys' Life. If you know of any others, please inform me.

I put a partial list of the stories into Wikipedia's Donald Keith entry a while ago. It will need to be updated. I thought it would be nice if the series had its own article, so I started one, though my Wikipedian skills are minimal.
