Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Now, starting with this volume onwards, Wheeler's later novels are presented, many of which have never 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 Seventeenth in the series, contains the dime novels: Deadwood Dick's Big Deal; Or, The Gold Brick of Oregon. When Cleveland St. Cecil is made the heir to a stranger he meets on his way to the mining camp of Right Bower he promises to break the bank of the local casino, run by the beauty known as Gold Brick, in addition to carrying on his task of becoming receiver for a local goldmine, whose owner suspects the manager to be defrauding him. But St. Cecil is not all he seems, and he has a personal mission to accomplish as well, despite all the villains ranged against him. This classic dime novel sees the welcome return of the fan favourite Old Avalanche. Deadwood Dick's Dozen; Or, The Fakir of Phantom Flats. When Deadwood Dick rescues a rich heiress from the evil outlaw Black Bob he decides to escort her to the mining camp of Phantom Flats. There he finds the whole town against him, led by the villainous Boston Blye, and a secret group known as the Dumb Dozen, who seek Dick's aid in recovering the goldmine that was stolen from them years before. Kelley, Hickey & Company, The Sleuths of Philadelphia; Or, Satan's Social. A tale of detectives and villainy set in the busy streets of the Quaker City. Kelly, Hickey and the young ferret Sewer Sam work against time to prevent the poisoning of Joshua Banker and stop his beautiful daughter Belle from losing everything at the hands of the villainous Jack Fallon. Kangaroo Kit; Or, The Mysterious Miner. When the young vagabond Kit arrives at the mining camp affectionately known as Ghoul Gulch he soon falls in with the foreman of the local mine, Sandy, a man with a mysterious past. But the villainous Harry Hawk and his accomplices, have designs on the mine owner's fortune and plan to blame Sandy for the crime, and only Kit has the knowledge to thwart their schemes.
