Inhaltsangabe

A fight breaks out over a claim in this action-filled homesteading story. The hardships of covered wagon life, the danger of the prairie fire, and the romance of the young bride's new home made this a best-seller in 1869.

One of the things that made dime novels so popular was the lurid cover art. These scandalous imaged caught the attention of readers and, indeed, the ellicit nature of the stories was most appealing. Publishers capitalized on the interests of young female readers, especially, bringing tales of strong, willful heroines to life between the cheap paper covers of these books.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Tired of her controlling stepparents, headstrong heiress Annie Howard goes west and encounters a series of adventures--including a blazing prairie fire, a sinking riverboat, the kidnapping of her beloved servant, and, of course, romance.When The Prairie Bride, a classic dime novel, was first published in 1869 by the extremely popular publishing house of Beadle & Adams, it was a best-seller. Western history fans will delight in the novel's whimsical presentation of a claim fight over a homestead--perhaps even more charming now than it was in the nineteenth century. It is with great pleasure that we bring this classic series of Beadle & Adams dime novels to a new generation. The themes of the American spirit and determination, of courage and bravery, and of friendship, love, and honor are timeless.
