"Jim Brill licked his parched lips . . ."

Glenn Lord had erroneously titled this story "The Valley of the Lost," as he thought it was the story that had been announced for the last issue of STRANGE TALES that never got published; as it turns out, he was wrong, and when the proper story showed up, Glenn Lord titled it "The Secret of Lost Valley."

Since this initial mistake, everyone has gone back to the proper titles.
A titled version is included in a list of REH stories that Otis Adelbert Kline possessed, titled "King of the Forgotten People."
Otis Adelbert Kline and later agents retained the original typescript and it was eventually donated to Cross Plains Library.
