I must admit that...What a wonderful post, Caroline! I must admit that I've always thought just the term "Dime Novel" had a dangerous yet enticing allure. I loved LOVED all the photos you put in the post, too. Admittedly, I am one of the people who prefers Kathleen Woodiwiss to Louis L'Amour -- although I agree his works provide such an unforgettable visualization of the American West. Still, it makes me sad to think that we have lost Kathleen Woodiwiss. She will forever remain one of my alltime favorite authors. ~ AshleyAshley Kath-Bilskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14073164133698225798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-77433199813215014972011-11-26T17:16:07.623-06:002011-11-26T17:16:07.623-06:00You have amazed me once again.

Thanks for this, I know I'll be checking back here for research in future.

Thanks for the plug, dearheart.<br />I laughed about "dime novels" being potboiler of lurid trash, or something like that. My 99cent westerns are called dime novels in Rebecca Vickery's Western Trail Blazers.I've used that term to promote the first one..now...ooooh, maybe I'd better not!<br />Oh, I love those old covers. Fascinating, weren't they? I wonder is the writing was stiff and dramatic? It seems I've read parts of one in a novel or somewhere..and the wording sounded like a melodrama. I'm sure they were.<br />Thanks so much for this thorough piece about part of our American Culture.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.com
