About This Item
New York: Frank Tousey, Publisher, 1907. Paperback. The February 20, 1907 edition (No. 455) of "Pluck and Luck: Complete Stories of Adventure." 4to. Pictorial color wrappers. 30pp, (2pp ads). Good plus. Outer wrappers a bit age toned and slightly edgeworn as usual; inner text pages moderately age toned and a bit delicate as usual. Attractive issue of this adventure weekly. Chromolithograph front wrapper shows a bluecoat-clad Continental soldier facing off against a group of charging redcoats on a dirt country road. Caption below reads: "'Back! back!' she cried; 'advance a step and I fire!' Little Lou kept backing all the time in the direction of the thicket. The astounded redcoats dared not fire, but kept following her up, wondering why a boy should thus hold them at bay." A far better than average dime novel (actually, "Price 5 Cents") or "penny dreadful," with text printed in two columns.
