Edward Lytton Wheeler (1854/5–1885) was a prolific American author, best known for his creation of the dime novel character Deadwood Dick. Born in the mid-19th century, Wheeler began his writing career as a poet but achieved more significant success in the realm of popular literature. His works encapsulated the essence of the Wild West and catered to an audience hungry for adventure and escape, during a period when the American frontier was a rich source of mythology and heroism. Among Wheeler's most notable contributions to the genre is 'Deadwood Dick, the Prince of the Road; or, The Black Rider of the Black Hills,' embodying the archetypal daring gunslinger. This particular novel illustrated Wheeler's flair for blending daring escapades with a melodramatic style, elements which became his hallmark and significantly influenced subsequent western literature. Although Wheeler's life was cut short at the age of 30, his impact on the dime novels and the portrayal of the American frontier in fiction was substantial, contributing to the idealized imagery of the West that persisted well into the 20th century. His prolific output, producing upwards of a novel a week during his peak, left a considerable legacy within the genre.
