[Illustration: THE BOY PATHFINDER]
This book has as its hero an actual character, George Shannon, a
Pennsylvania lad, who at seventeen left school to become one of the
Lewis and Clark expedition. He had narrow escapes, but persevered, and
the story of his wanderings, interwoven with excellent historical
information, makes the highest type of general reading for the young.
"It is a thoroughly good story, full of action and
adventure and at the same time carrying a bit of real
history accurately recorded."--_Universalist Leader,
Boston._
"It is an excellent book for a boy to read."--_Newark,
N. J., Advertiser._

directly concerns the leading smugglers of the district, and an
important public service is rendered by the boys.
"There is an atmosphere about the whole book that is
attractive to boys, and it will be read by them with
enthusiastic delight."--_Democrat and Chronicle,
Rochester, N. Y._
=Raymond Benson at Krampton=
Raymond Benson and his friend, Ned Grover, go to Krampton Academy,
which is no other than the noted school at New Hampton, N. H., where
Mr. Burleigh was fitted for college. We have had good books telling of
the larger and more aristocratic preparatory schools, but never before
one that so well told of life at a typical country academy of the sort
that have furnished the inspiration for so many successful men.
"It is interesting from start to finish, and while
rousing and full of enthusiasm, is wholesome in
spirit, and teaches lessons of purity and justice and
