“The dime novel dates from the year 1860. Shortly before the firm of Beadle & Adams began a series of cheap publications for the lower middle-classes…In the spring of 1860, Mr. Orville J. Victor (1827 – 1910) conceived the idea of the dime novel. The Beadle series was begun, and one of the most successful writers of the day, Mrs. Ann S. Stephens (1810—1886) contributed the first story.”
