A solid, but very short, biography designed as a classroom tool for lower grade levels. Articles are mentioned, none quoted.
Nellie Bly: Daredevil Reporter
By Charles Fredeen
A solid, if short, biography focusing on the inspirational qualities of Nellie's life and adventures. Aimed for junior-high readers, the book is comprehensive, but "slim enough to read in time for tomorrow's homework assignment" (Library School Journal). Articles are referred to, but none are quoted.

By Brooke Kroeger

The author quotes many of Nellie's articles, but only a few lines or paragraphs. Of the two articles included in this proposal, this book contains less than 5% of the text.
Getting The Real Story: Nellie Bly and Ida B. Wells
By Sue Davidson
An interesting book pairing the lives of two journalists and the injustices each faced (Nellie, sexism; Ida, racism). However, this book is more of a narrative with scenes and details being created by the author. Ms. Davidson declares her work to be "an imaginative reconstruction of events."

The NELLIE BLY Game
"Round The World With Nellie Bly" was a game published in the pages of The World the day after Nellie Bly returned home from her record-setting trip.

The game was published as a full set later in 1890 by McLoughlin Brothers, and again in the 1920's by Milton Bradley.
"Nelly Bly" Sheet Music
By Stephen Krensky
The inspiration for Elizabeth Cochrane's pen name of "Nellie Bly" came from the title of a popular song of the day by Stephen Foster. It wasn't until her name had already been published in The Dispatch that the editor realized it was misspelled.
