The Mississippi Bubble is a 1902 novel by American author Emerson Hough. It was Hough's first bestseller, and the fourth-best selling novel in the United States in 1902.[2]
The historical novel revolves around the story of John Law (1671-1729) and the "Mississippi Bubble", an economic bubble of speculative investment in the French colony of Louisiana.[3][4]
The book sold well from the time of its release, with The New York Times reporting 1,000 copies selling per day in the first month of its release.[5] It became the number one best-selling book in America for the month in the August 1902 issue of The Bookman.[6]
Hough wrote the book at night, working between 10pm and 4am, after his day job at Forest and Stream magazine in Chicago. He earned $11,640.15 from it.[7]
