NAPOLEON HILL'S FIRST EDITIONSBetween 1918 and 1924, Napoleon Hill launched and published two monthly Hill’s Golden Rule and Napoleon Hill’s Magazine. It was the need to fill the pages that prompted Hill to begin to turn his own personal triumphs and failures into lessons. The public was anxious to read what Hill had to say, and Napoleon Hill was never at a loss for words! The success of the first issues opened the floodgates, and from Hill’s typewriter there flowed a monthly torrent of feature stories, philosophical essays, self-help and how-to articles, and inspirational tales offering advice and hope for those struggling to overcome their life’s circumstances. It was in these magazine articles that Hill honed his theories, refined his arguments, and polished his presentation of the success philosophy for the common man. The material that filled the pages of Hill’s Golden Rule and Napoleon Hill’s Magazine are the original versions of the lessons that five years later would become the basis of Hill’s masterwork Law of Success, and tens years after that, his international bestseller Think and Grow Rich.
