The Deadwood Dick Library Collection - Volume 14

By Edward L Wheeler

An Omnibus of Dime Novels from the Nineteenth Century. Once avidly devoured by youth across the States, these short novels are home to one of the greatest heroes in American literature, though his thrilling exploits are now sadly largely lost to time. Once upon a time, the adventures of Deadwood Dick, outlaw and Prince of the Road, were read by millions of boys, who awaited his next adventure hungrily. Originally published as weekly dime novels, these short novels are now being republished in a series of volumes, each containing 4 works by Edward L. Wheeler from the Deadwood Dick Library. The eponymous hero makes an appearance in many of the stories, though quite a few star other weird and interesting characters. Now you can own a piece of American literary history.
