A nickel weekly from 1901, this is number 144 in the popular “Secret Service” series featuring “Old and Young King Brady, Detectives” which started January 27, 1899, and came out like clockwork every Friday for more than two decades... by which time well more than a thousand issues had been published. The Bradys and the Lost Ranche; or, The Strange Case in Texas has the Bradys travelling west to Texas at the behest of the U. S. Secret Service to find a mysteriously-lost ranch belonging to a man who was murdered in a New York hotel room.
At more than 25,000 words, this novella-sized work of pulp fiction gives the reader a taste of what the masses were reading in the late 19th and early 20th-century time period.
