 | | The amazing Ned Buntline, adventurer extraordinary and creator of the dime novel, lived a life far more fantastic than that of any of his imaginary heroes. |
 | | Edward Zone Carroll Judson (the famous pseudonym of Buntline is a nautical term for a rope at the bottom of a square sail) was born in 1823, ran away to sea as a boy and, by the time he was fifteen, was a midshipman in the navy. |
 | | Typical of his four hundred-odd stories are: The Mysteries and Miseries of New York, Navigator Ned; or, He Would Be Captain, Stella Delorme; or, The Comanche's Dream, The Black Avenger of the Spanish Main; or, The Fiend of Blood, and Buffalo Bill. |
