Deadwood Dick Library, Vol. II, No. 23

1899 · 38 pages

This Half-Dime Library issue (No. 93) presents "Deadwood Dick in Leadville: A Strange Stroke for Liberty," a Western adventure serial by Edward L. Wheeler. The story opens with a mysterious traveler navigating a mountain storm, passing road agents in ambush, and arriving at the Wild-cat mine. There he witnesses two miners—one elderly proprietor, one younger employee—dispute over theft, escalating to a knife fight that ends when the young man shoots his employer dead. The narrative then shifts to springtime, introducing English tourists traveling toward Leadville via stage: Sir Noel Farnsworth, his mother Lady Farnsworth, and companions. The issue concludes with a catalog listing over 200 previous Deadwood Dick, Jr. novels, each numbered installment featuring titles like "The Crimson Crescent Sign," "Danger Ducks," "Beelzebub's Basin," and "Death-Watch."
