THE COMMENTARY

In the late 1920s and into the 1930s, REH contributed to a little mailing called THE JUNTO.  
There was probably only one copy of each issue. It was mailed to each person on the mailing list, who would read the contributions and make comments.
These comments would then be typed up by the editor and included in a future mailing under the heading "The Commentary."
Comments include those retyped by the editor and REH's own typed comments from the mailing list.


CONAN, MAN OF DESTINY

Alternate Title: THE WAY OF THE SWORDS
Alternate Title:  THE ROAD OF THE EAGLES

  1. An early draft that Glenn Lord published in the Donald Grant book ROAD OF AZRAEL as "The Way of the Swords."
  2. A final draft (now at Cross Plains Public Library) that L. Sprague de Camp found and rewrote as "Conan, Man of Destiny," then later published as "The Road of the Eagles."

OAK sent it to V. I. Cooper (New York representative) on August 14, 1934.
On August 17, 1934, it was rejected by Fiction House (ACTION STORIES). 
On November 24, 1934, it returned to OAK and was forwarded back to REH the same day. 
On December 4, 1934, OAK received “A Elston to the Rescue” from REH.
OAK sent it to J. E. Miller (New York representative) on December 8, 1934.
OAK's logs show the story sold to STAR WESTERN on June 2, 1936. It was published as “The Curly Wolf of Sawtooth.” 
A list of sales by Otto Binder (New York representative) shows that he sold the story in May 1936.
The published title is likely from the STAR WESTERN editors.
