Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Boy Hikers Homeward Bound
There is a party of schoolboys who are learn ing the joys of the hike down dusty roads, across grassy fields, and through shadowy woods.
In the preceding volume, The Boy Hikers, was told their experiences in walking across the State of New Jersey to New York City. The present book concerns itself with what happened them in the big metropolis and on their trip back home. Again they have stirring adventures.
They are learning to love the warm sunshine that ripens the waving grain and tans their white skins; the pure air that imparts its richness to the landscape and fills their growing lungs with a wonderful exhilaration; the fascinating music of the winds that strum the strings of bramble and thicket, glen, byway and timbered aisle; the plaintive calls of the birds, the animals, the waters, the storms; the magic touch of divers wild creations; the sight of strange, curious, noble formations.
