UncomaHroEa
Am ericanS 8


a FEW years before the OPEN
Ting of the Civil war printer
in Buffalo, N. Y, began issuing a
magazine called the Youths Casket
and a little later another, called
the Home Monthly. Neither was
much of a success. More success
full was his brother who ran
newsstand and began selling songs
on single pages in much the same
fashion as the ballad-hawkers of an
earlier day. Then the printer broth
er published a number of these songs
in a pamphlet called 1.-THE Dime
Song Book and it sold SO well that
they decided to move to New York
city and publish other books for ten
cents.
Thus it was that great Arneri-
can institution was born, for these
brothers were Erastus F. and r.
win P. Beadle and they were the
"Fathers of the Dime Novel" They
took into partnership another ma
tive of Buffalo, Robert Adams, and
for the next three decades there
came from the presses of Beadle
and Company and Beadle and Ad-
ans a perfect flood of little books
(the Pocket Library, the Haf-Dime
Library and the Dime Library to
thrill the souls of American boys
and to fill the hearts of American
parents with fear that their sons
were being corrupted beyond all
hope by these "yellow-backs."
How groundless that fear was is
shown by the fact that some of the
most distinguished Americans of to-
day grew UP on a reading diet of
Beadle's dime novels. Exciting and
thrilling those stories may have
been (opening, as SO many of them
did, with Bang! Bang! Bangl
Three shots rang out and another
redskin bit the dusty but they were
also highly moral. For the Villain
was always foiled, Virtue always
triumphed and it is doubtful if a
single boy ever was ruined by read
ing one of them.
Irwin Beadle retired from the
firm in 1862, Robert Adams died in
1866, and his two younger broth
ers, William and David, succeeded
him. With them as partners Eras-
tus Beadle carried the dime novel
to the heights of its success. He
continued in the business until 1889.
Then he retired with fortune built
up by the dimes and nickels of
Young America. He died in 1894
too early to realize that certain of
the little yellow backs" which he
sold for a dime would later sell for
hundreds of dollars because they
are Americana and collectors
items!
