Western Fiction in the Library of Congress Classification Scheme

Borgo Cataloging Guides are written by catalogers for catalogers. These guides provide surveys of cataloging practice and science in the Library of Congress classification scheme. Each book surveys a specific subject area, with comprehensive coverage of the actual subject headings and classification numbers.

This question was largely settled when the Library of Congress agreed to accept
AACR2 in 1980, since LC generates the cataloging records which most large
American libraries (particularly in academe) follow. It was only later that the
library world discovered, much to its collective dismay, that LC's adoption of
AACR2 was somewhat conditional, in that, under long-established LC policy,
books were not recataloged retroactively, and main entries which should have

Frank Merriwell's Reward

Frank Merriwell was the fictional creation of Gilbert Patten, who wrote under the pseudonym Burt L. Standish. The model for all later American juvenile sports fiction, Merriwell excelled at football, baseball, crew, and track at Yale while solving mysteries and righting wrongs. He played with great strength and received traumatic blows without injury. A biographical entry on Patten noted that Frank Merriwell "had little in common with his creator or his readers." Patten offered some background on his character: "The name was symbolic of the chief characteristics I desired my hero to have. Frank for frankness, merry for a happy disposition, well for health and abounding vitality." Merriwell's classmates observed, "He never drinks. That's how he keeps himself in such fine condition all the time. He will not smoke, either, and he takes his exercise regularly. He is really a remarkable freshie." Merriwell originally appeared in a series of magazine stories starting April 18, 1896 ("Frank Merriwell: or, First Days at Fardale") in Tip Top Weekly, continuing through 1912, and later in dime novels and comic books. Patten would confine himself to a hotel room for a week to write an entire story.

Time for Sherlock Holmes

This time Holmes is pitted against a time-traveling Moriarty, who has stolen H. G. Wells time machine. It's an homage to Wells and Doyle that hits the mark on both counts.

It was in late 1903 after the affair I would eventually chronicle as “The Adventure
of the Creeping Man” for The Strand magazine, when my friend Sherlock Holmes
seemed to be in an unusual mood of dark disturbance . I could only assume that
it was the Abercrombie situation that was playing upon his mind—a dangerous
escaped convict who was said to be on his way to London . Holmes would not
speak of it and even the press was sparse regarding details, so I put the matter
aside ...

Arguably an even better example from the Holmes canon is 1910's “The
Adventure of the Devil's Foot .” Holmes hypothesizes that the victims went mad
and/or died from inhaling the powdered root of an African plant that, once heated,
vaporizes and carries on the air . He tests the hypothesis on himself—so
successfully that Watson must save him, in what is one of the duo's most
harrowing moments. Conan Doyle created the fictional plant at the heart of the
mystery, but he presents it as ...
