Excerpt from The Famous Rover Boys Series: The Putnam Hall Series It is a large number of volumes to write about one set of characters, isn't it? When I started the series, many years ago, I had in mind, as I have told you before, to pen three books, possibly four. But as soon as I had written The Rover Boys at School, The Rover Boys on the Ocean and The Rover Boys in the Jungle, there was a cry for more, and so I wrote The Rover Boys Out West, On the Great Lakes, In the Moun tains, On Land and Sea, In Camp, On the River, On the Plains, and then In Southern Waters, where we last left our heroes.
In the present story, as promised in the last volume, the scene is Shifted back to the farm and to dear old Putnam Hall, with their many pleas ant associations. As before, Sam, Tom and Dick are to the front, along with several of their friends, and there are a number of adventures, some comical and some strange and mystifying.
At the school the rivalries are as keen as ever, but the Rover boys are on their mettle, and prove their worth on more than one occasion.
