The October, 1902 issue of the dime novel Pluck and Luck reprinted the 1892 story "Jack Wright and His Prairie Engine; or, Among the Bushmen of Australia" by NONAME.  Luis Senarens wrote a series of science fiction stories about the brilliant inventor.

Stories about brilliant boy inventors like Jack Wright and Frank Reade, Jr are called Edisonades by modern critics.

Pulp #20 -- January 18, 2011

Before the pulps, there were the dime novels. Pluck and Luck made the second printing of Alert J Booth's early science fiction novel Two Boys' Trip to an Unknown Planet in 1901. It was originally published in The Boys of New York in 1889. Two boys run away from school, volunteer to participate in a balloon ascension, and wind up on the planet Margino.
