Old-Time Dime Novels in New Orleans Times-Democrat Review
A Times-Democrat reader recalls dime novels from Beadle’s series like Darite’s Daughter and the Mystery of Behn Canyon. He notes their yellow backs, cheap hack writing, and the shift over decades from mass orders of 500 to 2,000 to smaller, modern purchases. The piece contrasts crude adventure tales with later, sharper prose.
