After looking around a little, I noticed a few things. For one, "Until the middle eighteen eighties Ellis wrote, primarily, works of fiction. After that time, he turned to writing accounts of historical events, mostly for adults."  This article previously said The Life of David Crockett was written in 1884, in the time period when he transitioned to more serious works. To determine whether this is a dime novel or not, one would have to read the book. Failing that, at the very least someone could provide sourcing proving this Not Yours To Give story is fantasy. Also, since the link was changed from Ron Paul's website to the full version at Constitution.org, to include Paul's name is unnecessary.
