Originally published in the 1870s as a dime novel and then re-published in 1908 as a nickel weekly, Hawk-Eye the Hunter is number 4 of the beloved Beadle’s Frontier Series. This particular issue tells a story that takes place on the South Texas prairies halfway between the modern city of San Antonio and the Mexican border, at a time after the Mexican-American War and before the Civil War, when Texas was officially a new state in the union but the slavery issue had yet to be settled. In fact, fair warning, the story involves a wealthy Louisiana plantation owner who has relocated to South Texas, bringing his slaves with him.
