The Hero of a Hundred Fights: Collected Stories from the Dime Novel King, from Buffalo Bill to Wild Bill Hickok

The Wild West came alive under the pen of Edward Zane Carroll Judson, who wrote many of America's best-loved  “dime novels ”under the pseudonym Ned Buntline. From Buffalo Bill (whom Judson knew first-hand) to Wild Bill Hickok, these vivid tales feature some of the most colorful characters on the American landscape.  This anthology gathers a selection of his best-loved work, including four full-length unabridged novels, each with an introduction by author and critic Clay Reynolds.   Stories include:
Buffalo Bill, the King of Border Men, or The Wildest and Truest Tale I've Ever Told
 Hazel-Eye, the Girl Trapper, or A Tale of Strange Young Life
The Miner Detective; or, the Ghost of the Gulch
Wild Bill's Last Trail
