  I once read that the book, "The Skylark of Space",
by E. E. Smith, had the distinction of being the first
science-fiction story to deal with interstellar travel.
Question: Can anybody in netland challenge this claim?
(not challenge it personally, of course, but find an
earlier-published story involving star-travel).
You'd better respond to me directly, and if there's sufficient
interest, I'll digest the replies later on.
