Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Go Ahead Boys and Simon's Mine
The author has no desire to make his young heroes either preternaturally brilliant or pos sessed of too precocious brains. They are nor mal, healthy American boys fond of travel and adventure and naturally are meeting experiences such as come to men doing what they were doing in certain parts of our country. Self-reliance, determination, the ability to decide quickly and to act promptly, the strength of will which prevents one from abandoning too easily a course of action which has been decided upon, - all these are foundations upon which any successful life must rest. If these qualities can be acquired in theearly years then life is just that much stronger and better.
