Malaesk, The Indian Wife of the White Hunter
This is the tragic tale of an Indian maiden who marries a white settler. The novel’s romantic sensationalism proved popular in 1860 and the book sold more than 65,000 copies in several months. It is considered the first “dime novel†published in America.
The Old Homestead
"The Old Homestead" was originally published in New York in 1855 and is one of Stephens’ most popular books, known from its dramatization by George L. Aiken (another dime novelist) in 1856, and a stage revival during the 1880's and 1890's by Denman Thompson,.
It is the story of quaint New England farm life, the romance of home, the family fireside and the people who gather about it.
ANN S. STEPHENS (1810–1886) grew up in Connecticut. She married Edward Stephens in 1831 and relocated to Portland, Maine, where she and her husband co-founded and edited a monthly literary periodical called the Portland Magazine.
In 1837 they moved to New York City where she joined the staff at Graham's and Peterson's magazines. In the early 1860s, she contracted with the publishing firm Irwin P. Beadle and Company to produce a seven-book series of "dime novels. She was one of the best-known writers on the New York scene of her day and died at the age of seventy-six.
In 1846, Edgar Allan Poe described her in his “The Literati of New York City.
The term "dime novel" originated with Stephens's Malaeska, the Indian Wife of the White Hunter, printed in the first book in Beadle & Adams's Beadle’s Dime Novels series, dated June 9, 1860,
