The Huge Hunter or The Steam Man of the Prairies was the first U.S. science fiction dime novel and archetype of the Frank Reade series. It was first published in 1868. An excerpt from the beginning of the book reads, "There was good cause for these exclamations upon the part of the Yankee and Irishman, as they stood on the margin of Wolf Ravine, and gazed off over the prairie. Several miles to the north, something like a gigantic man could be seen approaching, apparently at a rapid gait for a few seconds, when it slackened its speed, until it scarcely moved. Occasionally it changed its course, so that it went nearly at right angles. At such times, its colossal proportions were brought out in full relief, looking like some Titan as it took its giant strides over the prairie."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
