Capitola owes its position on the US Top 1000 to the 1859 novel The Hidden Hand, also known as Capitola the Madcap. It was written by E. D. E. N. Southworth — the initials stand for Eliza Dorothy Emma Nevitte — and serialized first in the 1860s, then in 1883, and was published as a book in 1888.
 
Southworth invented the name for her character Capitola Black (also known as Capitola Le Noir), an orphaned tomboy who falls into adventures everywhere from New York City to Mexico. A sequel to The Hidden Hand called Capitola's Peril was released in 1876.
