THE HICKORY RIDGE BOY SCOUTS

A SERIES OF BOOKS FOR BOYS

By Capt. Alan Douglas, Scout-master

I. The Campfires of the Wolf Patrol

Their first camping experience affords the scouts splendid
opportunities to use their recently acquired knowledge in a
practical way. Elmer Chenoweth, a lad from the northwest woods,
astonishes everyone by his familiarity with camp life. A clean,
wholesome story every boy should read.

II. Woodcraft; or, How a Patrol Leader Made Good

This tale presents many stirring situations in which the boys are
called upon to exercise ingenuity and unselfishness. A story filled
with healthful excitement.

III. Pathfinder; or, The Missing Tenderfoot

Some mysteries are cleared up in a most unexpected way, greatly to
the credit of our young friends. A variety of incidents follow
fast, one after the other.

IV. Fast Nine; or, a Challenge from Fairfield

They show the same team-work here as when in camp. The description
of the final game with the team of a rival town, and the outcome
thereof, form a stirring narrative. One of the best baseball
stories of recent years.

V. Great Hike; or, The Pride of The Khaki Troop

After weeks of preparation the scouts start out on their greatest
undertaking. Their march takes them far from home, and the
good-natured rivalry of the different patrols furnishes many
interesting and amusing situations.

VI. Endurance Test; or, How Clear Grit Won the Day

Few stories "get" us more than illustrations of pluck in the face
of apparent failure. Our heroes show the stuff they are made of and
surprise their most ardent admirers. One of the best stories
Captain Douglas has written.

VII. Under Canvas; or, The Hunt for the Cartaret Ghost

It was hard to disbelieve the evidence of their eyes but the boys
by the exercise of common-sense solved a mystery which had long
puzzled older heads.

VIII. Storm-bound; or, a Vacation Among the Snow Drifts

The boys start out on the wrong track, but their scout training
comes to the rescue and their experience proves beneficial to all
concerned.
