These new essays tell the stories of daring reporters, male and
female, sent out by their publishers not to capture the news but to
make the news-indeed to achieve star billing-and to capitalize on
the Gilded Age public's craze for real-life adventures into the
exotic and unknown. They examine the adventure journalism genre
through the work of iconic writers such as Mark Twain and Nellie
Bly, as well as lesser-known journalistic masters such as Thomas
Knox and Eliza Scidmore, who took to the rivers and oceans,
mineshafts and mountains, rails and trails of the late nineteenth
century, shaping Americans' perceptions of the world and of
themselves.
