Sham Smasher. C.A. George Newmann. Irregular. Kenyon, Minnesota, ca. 1939. Complete file, consisting of three issues, only one of which can be dated. Loose issues, bound and folded as issued. Mimeo. Scarce. Alfredson/Daily 6235. In his monograph about Newmann, Alfredson writes that only four issues of Sham Smasher have been located, though Newmann indicated five were produced. “That there were no more,” Alfredson continues, “is, I should think, largely because they were of embarrassingly little merit…consisting mainly of diatribes against individuals…, certain magic dealers, and general anti-Semitic harangue.”
