Synopsis

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 or 5 works by Edward L. Wheeler. Now, Wheeler's later novels are presented, many of which have not been republished since their first appearance in the 1880's. The eponymous hero makes an appearance in at least one story in each of these continuing volumes, though quite a few star other characters.

This Volume, the 21st in the series, contains the dime novels:

Deadwood Dick's Claim; Or, The Fairy Face of Faro Flats.
After rescuing an Indian chief from certain death, Deadwood Dick agrees to help him reclaim the land taken from him by white prospectors and recover his stolen daughter. But Dick little realises the plots and villainies that lie in wait for him in Fairy Flats.

Yreka Jim of Yuba Dam.
Arriving in the mining town of Death-Rattle, Yreka undertakes the task of finding and protecting a young heiress from the evil forces arrayed against her.

Wrinkles, The Nightwatch Detective.
When Louis Lawton pays court to a young lady deemed above his station, her father, Trimbal Thackera, makes it plain that his attentions are not welcome, regardless of his daughter's feelings on the matter. But when Louis is framed for a crime he did not commit, it falls to the bootblack Wrinkles to get to the heart of that and other, even more villainous matters.

High Hat Harry, The Baseball Detective; Or, The Sunken Treasure.
Arriving at the town of Bluffton, High Hat Harry assists the victim of an assault, little realizing that he would be drawn into the plans of a gang of rogues and the search for a pirate's treasure. But Harry also has his own reasons for coming to Bluffton.
