The Deadwood Dick Library, Vol. IV, No. 44

1900 · 42 pages

This Half-Dime Library issue showcases two serialized tales by Edward L. Wheeler. The primary content is a catalog listing 100+ installments of "Deadwood Dick, Jr." novels, featuring the continued adventures of Wheeler's character across varied American settings—mining camps, frontier towns, urban centers from Boston to San Francisco, and supernatural locations. Titles include "Deadwood Dick, Jr. in Gotham," "at Coney Island," and "in Beelzebub's Basin," mixing western adventure with urban and fantastical themes. The second feature begins "Detective Josh Grim: The Young Gladiator's Game," with Chapter I, "The Witch of Phantom Acre." A young scout named Cyclone Kit, searching for a legendary "Walled City of Gold-Flake," discovers a mountain ravine and encounters Old Meg, a witch-like woman claiming supernatural powers. She summons ghostly white-draped figures as supernatural threats, though Kit suspects mechanical trickery. The narrative establishes gothic mystery within an otherwise western framework.
