Frontier, The (1920–39), regional literary magazine, founded by Professor H.G. Merriam of Montana State University in connection with a class in creative writing. The first issue was called The Montanan, but its scope as a magazine of the Northwest brought about a change of title. Its contents included fiction, poetry, and criticism, as well as source materials relating to the early history of the Northwest. In 1933 the magazine merged with The Midland to become Frontier and Midland. The Midland (1915–33), published from Iowa City, was also a regional magazine, and included among its “discoveries” MacKinlay Kantor, Paul Engle, and Phil Stong.
