Price: $1,800.00
EDWARD Z.C. JUDSON (NED BUNTLINE).Signature: "Edward Z.C.
Judson/Ned Buntline", 3¼x2 card. A nautical term for the rope at the bottom of a square sail,
the name Buntline was adopted from the youthful navy days of soldier, adventurer and writer
Edward Z.C. Judson (1823-1886). Judson had developed his sensational literary style in
the 1840s, when he began submitting exaggerated accounts of his adventures to
"Knickerbocker Magazine". Arrested, shot at and even hung once (someone cut the rope), in
1869, Judson "discovered" Western scout William F. Cody, nicknamed him Buffalo Bill
and exploited his adventures in books and plays. Earlier, Judson had helped organize the
anti-foreign, anti-labor American Party, better known, thanks to Judson, as the
Know-Nothing Party (1850-1856). By the 1870s, with hunting and fishing as his primary
pastimes, the shooting, cheating, wild author of nearly 400 novellas, termed "dime
novels", had settled down with his fourth wife in Stamford, New York. Slightly soiled. Fine
condition. Framed to an overall size of 23x17¼.
