Unable to stay with her tribe, she ventures on a quest down the Hudson River to Manhattan to find a new home for herself and her young son. Upon reaching the city, however, racism, intolerance, and prejudice threaten to destroy her family. A tale of survival and the fortitude of the human spirit, the story follows the young heroine as she tries to adapt to a life outside her tribe against extreme adversity. Originally published in 1860, Malaeska is the first American dime novel ever published, coining the phrase “dime novel.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAuthor: Ann S.

The real man was an American scout, Pony Express rider, and showman. It’s said that he earned his nickname in post-Civil War America after slaughtering over 4,000 bison to fulfill a contract for the Kansas Pacific Railroad. However, the true reason that “Buffalo Bill” became a household name still known today is because in 1869, Bill Cody stumbled upon the author Ned Bluntline, who subsequently wrote a novel about Cody’s (largely fictional) exploits that became immensely popular, which was followed up by a dime novel series authored by Prentiss Ingraham (the first of which you now hold in your hands).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThese works drove people to Buffalo Bill’s “Wild West” shows, and he became a world-renowned celebrity, eventually touring in Europe with his friend and fellow showman “Wild Bill” Hickok. Buffalo Bill and his headliners—folks like Annie Oakley and Frank Butler—may have been America’s first “reality” stars, as they enjoyed the fame from their popularized adventures, both real and staged, while still alive. Were it not for the dime novel, they would not have become the legends they still are today, and the NFL’s Buffalo Bills would have no idea what to call themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eAuthor: Prentiss Ingraham\u003cbr\u003eCover Artist: James F.
