Vera by Stacy Schiff
Tired of her controlling stepparents, headstrong heiress Annie Howard goes west and encounters a series of adventures--including a blazing prairie fire, a sinking riverboat, the kidnapping of her beloved servant, and, of course, romance.When The Prairie Bride, a classic dime novel, was first published in 1869 by the extremely popular publishing house of Beadle & Adams, it was a best-seller. Western history fans will delight in the novel's whimsical presentation of a claim fight over a homestead--perhaps even more charming now than it was in the nineteenth century. It is with great pleasure that we bring this classic series of Beadle & Adams dime novels to a new generation. The themes of the American spirit and determination, of courage and bravery, and of friendship, love, and honor are timeless.
