Edition Description: New York Weekly edition:
According to Johannsen, this title was serialized in the New York Dispatch beginning March 5, 1859; according to LeBlanc, that publication should have changed its name to the New York Weekly by that point in time. Further research is needed.
Notes: "This story originally appeared as a serial in the New York Dispatch, beginning March 5, 1859, under the title 'Dick Flinton; or, Life on the Border,' with different names for some but not all of the characters. Important as showing that 'Seth Jones' was not Ellis' first novel."--Johannsen, A. House of Beadle and Adams and its dime and nickel novels
