A review by thomasroche
The Huge Hunter, Or, the Steam Man of the Prairies (Dodo Press) by Edward S. Ellis

3.0

This is really not a very good novel, but it's important historically because it's the precursor to the "boy inventor" movement, a movement that predates even its most famous character, Tom Swift. It's worth reading, really, only if you really like to know the historical context of such things. I found it amusing, and I'm very fond of it. But it's not an especially good book.
