dime novel s that he produced under his name and a number of "noms de plume". Notable works by Ellis include "The Huge Hunter, or the Steam Man of the Prairies " and "Seth Jones, or the Captives of the Frontier".Internationally, Edward S. Ellis is probably best known for his "Deerhunter" novels widely read by young boys up to the 1950s (together with works by
James Fenimore Cooper andKarl May ).In the mid-1880s, after a fiction-writing career of some thirty years, Ellis eventually turned his pen to more serious works of biography, history, and persuasive writing.
