Deadwood dick, the prince of the road. or the black rider of the black hills (Edward Lytton Wheeler)

„Deadwood Dick, The Prince of the Road or The Black Rider of the Black Hills" is a fun shoot-’em-up-cowboy book, rather than a serious western but the entertainment value is just as high. They called him Deadwood Dick, the Prince of The Road, the Black Rider of the Black Hills of Dakota. He was as famous for a time as Wild Bill Hickok or Buffalo Bill. It is the story of gold-seekers, settlers and criminals who all come together in a small area of the Black Hills. There’s Fearless Frank, a young man who saves Alice Terry, a damsel in distress, from Sitting Bull and his warriors. There is also The „General", Geoffrey Walsingham Nix, an old man with a vision of gold. And naturally, there is young Deadwood Dick, first spotted gunning down a man offering a reward for his arrest.
