A novella-sized work of historical fiction originally published in the 1870s as a dime novel and then re-published in 1908 as a nickel weekly, Shadow Bill, the Scout; or, Ups and Downs Among the Redskins is number 9 of the beloved Beadle’s Frontier Series.
This one takes place in the mid-19th century on the western plains where white civilization is confronting the war-like Sioux.
At more than 26,000 words, this work of fiction, besides being an interesting and fun read, gives the reader a taste of what the masses were reading in the late 19th and early 20th century time period.
