3 very uncommon examples --in fact the first 3 issues-- of "The Open Road: A Saunterer's Chronicle", a rare 1905 literary magazine affirming --and very likely naming itself after-- Walt Whitman's 1855 "Song of the Open Road" (from "Leaves of Grass"). Intended as a bi-monthly publication and edited (and probably published) by Charles Wisner Barrell, sometimes editor of "Vagabondia" and an early specialist in the Ashcan School. We see no evidence that any more than 3 issues were published and we note that no copies can be found in the virtual world, including no holdings in WorldCat. These 3 issues have held up very nicely -- each is clean and sharp in its handsewn pictorial wrappers. The 3 issues are all 16mos and are housed in a handmade, hand-titled cardboard chemise, with the name and address label of Charles Wisner Barrell himself (suggesting these were the editor's/publisher's copies?) above the title. Vol. 2 features "John Burroughs on Slabsides" and Vol. 3 features "A Word on Forestry".…
