A nickel weekly from 1899, this is number 28 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 more than a thousand issues had been published. The Bradys Out West; or, Winning a Hard Case takes place in the Black Hills of Wyoming and South Dakota as the two famous New York detectives are sent west by the head of the U.S. Secret Service to track down a notorious outlaw who kidnapped and holds hostage a young woman from New York.
At more than 23,000 words, this is a novella-sized work of pulp fiction that gives the reader a taste of what the masses were reading in the late 19th and early 20th century time period.
