Lightning Gripp, the Cautious Detective; or, "Piping" the Nathan Murder Mystery. By the Author of "Old Cap. Collier & Co.," Etc., Etc. Old Cap. Collier Library, no. 13.

Notes

A dime novel account of Gripp’s tracking of the men wanted for Benjamin Nathan’s murder. In reality, the much-publicized murder of Nathan in 1870 was never solved and indictments never issued. Authorship is by W. I. James, per W. O. G. Lofts and Derek Adley, "The Crime Fighters," entry, "Gripp," electronic resource at http://www.philsp.com/homeville/ CrFi/index.htm#TOC. The University of Rochester, however, has entered its service copy of Lightning Gripp ..., microfilmed by the Library of Congress, under Henry Enton.
